4,000-Year-Old Stone Tomb With Mosaic-Like Floor Discovered in Norway

Archaeologists have uncovered a carefully built stone tomb dating back about 4,000 years in southeastern Norway.

The rare discovery was made in the Halden area. The tomb’s precise construction is among the features highlighted in the initial account of the find.

Its floor has been described as resembling a mosaic. That description refers to its appearance, rather than confirming that it is a mosaic made using a particular technique.

The brief account did not provide details about human remains, burial objects or how the tomb was dated. It also did not identify who may have been buried there.
