Harpoon find in Tudeå

The harpoon find in Tudeå , west of Krogsgård on Zealand in Denmark , was made in 1969 by Svend Kristensen. In the shallow water he found an ornate harpoon made of deer antlers from the Paleolithic . (possibly Maglemose culture 9000-6400 BC)

The finder discovered the reading or river find during a winter hike. First he found half of the harpoon in the water of the river. Immediately afterwards he found the second half. The find is Denmark's only surviving, decorated, finely toothed harpoon.

A two-row harpoon was found on Langevadbro in 1941 and a thick-necked flint ax in 1949 .
