tl;dr: Sea levels 4,000 years ago were 40' higher than they are today, but everything was somehow just fine.
ETA: Journalism is dead. 05-15-2024 'Hitra man' lived 4,000 years ago during the late Stone Age ByEric Ralls, Earth.com staff writer In 1916, a remarkable discovery was made during a road construction project on the island of Hitra in Norway. As workers were upgrading a road using gravel from the shore along Barmfjorden, they stumbled upon human bones amidst the sand and stones. These bones belonged to a man who had lived and died in Hitra approximately 4,000 years ago, at the very end of the Stone Age. “We think that he drowned. When he died, the sea level was 12.5 meters (40'-OP) higher than it is today, and the discovery site would have been at a depth of 4 meters,” explains archaeologist Birgitte Skar from NTNU University Museum. “Parts of the skeleton are well preserved, and must have been covered with shell sand on the seabed shortly after he died.” https://www.earth.com/news/hitra-man-lived-4000-years-ago-during-late-stone-age/ The same story was published in Newsweek, except they edited out the detailed sea level information and replaced it with a vague reference omitting the depth number, also suggesting this was only the case in that specific area, which is both misleading and a change from the source. A prehistoric man thought to have died by drowning around 4,000 years ago has been reconstructed, revealing what he may have looked like when he was alive. A team with the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) in Trondheim re-created the man's appearance based on measurements of his skeletal remains, as well as DNA data. The remains were originally unearthed in 1916 on the island of Hitra, which is off the west coast of Norway, by workers who were upgrading a road leading up to a farm. The remains are those of a man who died in his mid-20s toward the very end of the Stone Age, around 4,000 years ago. The sea level in the area where the man died was higher than it is today, and the location where his remains were found would have been around 13 feet underwater. As a result, archaeologists believe he may have drowned. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/face-of-stone-age-man-thought-to-have-drowned-4-000-years-ago-revealed/ar-BB1mazzW And here's the man.

Glacial land subsidence followed by isostatic rebound is a thing. Sea level has been falling (land has been rising) in much of coastal Alaska since the last round of glaciers srarted retreating.

Quote HistoryQuoted: At least he's white, blonde and blue eyed. Current "journalism" usually omits that it subs in a picture of an African. 10k years ago, in some parts of Europe, prior to Anatolian Farmers and Western Steppe Herder genetic contribution (and in many places near replacement), dark skin tones are genetically supported. But yea often the press does a poor job using correct graphics widely, not merely archaeological articles This guy was right on the cusp of the Nordic Bronze Age further south. Mid to Northern Scandinavia was relatively isolated from much - and the entire Nordic region itself was a separate and somewhat lagging European Region. The Amesbury Archer found in UK roughly 300 years prior from the widespread Bell Beaker culture was part of the Early Bronze Age/British Bronze Age. Technology and material culture was different in Middle Norway even. 3-500 years later. Sea level could be due to VLM/local terrain subsidence - don't see it specifically mentioned. Beat by flcracker - could be earthquake related as well. |

I was born and raised in east central Mississippi. There are limestone cliffs on the side of streams and limestone deposits hundreds of feet thick with visible sea creature skeletons that are easy to see.
That's because the area was under the ocean for a few million years. And don't forget the crude oil (from live animals) that are now thousands of feet below the Earth's crust. Things change. Get used to it. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 4000 years ago…Is 2000 BC really still the Stone Age? We have people living in the stone age right now. The cannibal (North Sentinel) island in the Indian Ocean and a couple of Amazon tribes would be an example. The stone age ended at different eras for different regions of the world. The civilized regions were thousands of years ahead of the primitive ones. I'm not even sure the natives in North America had metal implements before we came. ETA: Got curious and checked. The native North Americas had no metallurgy skills. They didn't know how to smelt metals. As far as they got was cold hammering of copper, which was abundant at the time, and some heat treating to harden it since the hammering made it fragile. So borderline stone age. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: How did they deduce the "warrior" part? Speculation. Likely from the conditional quote from the researcher. In the late Neolithic/very early Bronze in some European societies you can see some specialization in weapons that seem to indicate at least some martial use. Stone maces and a single example of a bronze cudgel have little use beyond symbolic (possible) but they also seem useful for whacking peeps. You also start to see indications of possible armor - boar tusk plates affixed to organic materials which often weren't preserved, but at least some were helmets. But they also could have status value, but some of that status appears to have been from martial specialization. Associated with more complex burials there seems to be some hiercarchy that develops, surrounding individuals with weapons. The most complex with weapons additional to bows, knives (daggers) and spears. Tho high status individuals predominately have various and not necessarily more/ or sometimes any martial weapons associated with their burials during this time.  Attached FileLater, on the steppes, when you start seeing chariots, stone tipped javelins and across Europe stone "battle axes" (above) you could make a better case for some separation when those are present in a smaller number of more substantial burials..  Attached FileI'm interested in seeing the whole "dagger" - only the tip is visible. Large bifacial daggers, finely crafted and pretty complex start showing up in Southern Scandavia a few hundred years prior to this find. I'm not aware of any specific relation made to a warrior class but maybe. There's a few different types, and they don't seem to be substantially more useful than previous designs for most uses. Since this guy didn't appear to be buried, context is over 100 years gone and we're making judgments based on artifacts, yea it's kinda speculative up unless there's some association - to this type of dagger, the stone arm/wrist guard (which you see throughout Neolithic Europe) or some other piece:- I'm not aware of . ETA some pics  Attached FileThese are Danish but pretty sure representative of the types later found in Southern Norway and Sweden. They're pretty involved |
