According to Discovery News, these objects are believed to belong to Swedish nomads from 11,000 years ago. This may be evidence of one of the oldest residential areas ever found in Northern Europe and was named the Atlantis paradise city in Sweden. Atlantis is said to have been submerged by the sea and buried in the deep sea around 9,600 BC.

Bjorn Nilsson, professor of archeology at Sodertorn University, said it was surprising that these artifacts were discovered in good condition. According to the team, a form of sediment in black, dense form is called gyttja , formed when the peat layer decomposes, protecting the antiquities for thousands of years.

Nilsson's team is still digging in search of a burial site in the area.
