8-year-old girl unearths Stone Age dagger by her school in Norway

A young girl in light pinkish parka with the furry hood on her head stands near some large rocks by a concrete road where she found the dagger.

While playing outside her school in Norway, an 8-year-old girl found an unexpected treasure — not a lost ball or a discarded jump rope, but a flint dagger crafted by Stone Age people 3,700 years ago.

The student, identified only as Elise in a statement translated from Norwegian, discovered the gray-brown dagger when she was playing in a rocky area by her school in Vestland County. "I was going to pick up a piece of glass, and then the stone was there," she said in the statement.
