The Stone Age boy has now been reconstructed using DNA analysis and modern forensic techniques.
Researchers do not know why Vistegutten – the boy from Viste – died at only 14 years old. He was apparently healthy.
He was buried in the small Vistehola, a cave located a little north of Stavanger in southwestern Norway. The same little cave that his parents may have lived in.
He is the best-preserved person from the Stone Age in Norway.
