n 1907, the remains of a teenage boy who lived over 8,300 years ago were discovered in a Mesolithic cave located in Randaberg on the west coast of Norway. Dubbed as “one of the oldest skeletons ever found in Norway,” the fascinating reconstruction of the boy, known as Vistegutten, has recently been unveiled at the Hå Gamle Prestegard Museum .
Using a novel reconstruction technique, this work has breathed new life into the 15-year-old who has been remembered for having an “unusual skull.” The reconstruction has also provided a glimpse into the life of a Stone Age teenager and contributed to our understanding of the region's history.
