The discovery of a “sealed” Stone Age house site from 3500 BCE in Norway is the finest preserved house from the funnel beaker culture which lived in the area at the time. The dwelling site lies 11 meters (36 feet) over sea level today, but was at the water’s edge 5,500 years ago.
The site looks like it was covered by a sandstorm, possibly in the course of a few hours. At the time, Norway was much drier, and sandstorms were not unusual according to the earth’s strata from the time. Which is lucky for today’s archaeologists! The site is so well-preserved that it has been described as a “mini-Pompeii.”
