Norway: 3400 Year Old shoe discovered

Analysis of the leather shoe showed it to be 3,400 years old, says Oppland County Archaeologist Espen Finstad to Aftenposten. This means that not only is it Norway's oldest shoe, but also the oldest piece of Norwegian "clothing" discovered so far.

The shoe therefore dates back to old bronze age, roughly from 1800 to 1100 years before Christ. In the same area were also found several complete arrows and a spade made from wood.
