Bronze Age treasure found in Swedish forest by mapmaker
A man surveying a forest for his orienteering club in western Sweden stumbled on a trove of Bronze Age treasure reckoned to be some 2,500 years old. It includes about 50 items, such as necklaces, bracelets and clothing pins. Swedish archaeologists say it is very rare to find such a hoard in a forest. The hoard was on the forest floor, next to rocks. It is thought that one or more animals had disturbed the earth, leaving the many items semi-exposed. They have been dated to the period between 750 and 500BC.
