Glacial archaeologists in Norway have discovered weapons and secret hideaways on a remote mountain where stealthy hunters waited for reindeer more than a millennium ago.
While surveying part of the inland mountain peak Sandgrovskaret, the archaeological team recovered five arrows, three of which are up to 1,700 years old. The researchers also discovered 40 stone-built hunting blinds, which made the hunters "invisible" to nearby reindeer.

Interesting that while the weapons have changed, the techniques are much the same as we use now.

Great Archaeology share Lt Col Charlie Brown , hunters were smart then like they are now, to make it easier to get their prey.
