Underwater Manmade Stone Structure Found in Norway
In the frigid waters of western Norway, marine archaeologists have uncovered a remarkable piece of history: a massive, man-made belt of stones lying on the seabed. This ancient structure, believed to be the remains of a medieval whale trapping facility, offers a rare glimpse into the brutal and highly organized hunting practices of the past. The discovery, located in Grindasundet near the village of Telavåg, is the first time such physical evidence has been found underwater and linked to the oldest recorded Norwegian laws.
“The newly discovered underwater archaeological site is very unusual,” stated Elling Utvik Wammer, a marine archaeologist at the Norwegian Maritime Museum, who led the investigation.
Uncovering the Underwater Barrier
The research team, braving the cold January waters and breaking through ice to dive, utilized advanced sonar mapping and photogrammetry to document the site. They discovered a distinct belt of stones stretching over 25 meters (82 feet) long and up to 9 meters (29.5 feet) wide across the strait. The stones were carefully laid, partially on top of one another, clearly indicating human construction.
Alongside the stone belt, divers also found a mysterious circular mound of rocks measuring 15 meters (49 feet) across and 4 meters (13 feet) tall. Researchers believe this mound represents an 18th-century attempt to fill in the strait, a project eventually abandoned due to the sheer amount of labor and rock required.
“What’s surprising is the sheer amount of rock. They must have brought boats to the site and dumped stones over the side,” said Wammer.
