===Scandinavia=== Well-preserved examples of arrows with microliths in Scandinavia have been found at Loshult, at [[Osby Municipality|Osby]] in [[Sweden]], and Tværmose, at [[Ringkjøbing County|Vinderup]] in [[Denmark]]. These finds, which have been preserved practically intact due to the special conditions of the [[peat bog]]s, have included wooden arrows with microliths attached to the tip by resinous substances and cords. According to radiocarbon measurements, the Loshult arrows are dated to around 8000 BC, which represents a middle part of the [[Maglemose culture]]. This is close to the Early Boreal/Late Boreal transition.<ref>Lars Larsson (2018), [https://www.academia.edu/42478221/THE_LOSHULT_ARROWS_CULTURAL_RELATIONS_AND_CHRONOLOGY The Loshult Arrows: Cultural Relations and Chronology ] academia.edu</ref>
