Map showing the Oslofjord 10 500 years ago (left) and 9 500 years ago (right). On the map to the right, note the strait Havsjodalen (in the middle of the map), the Vinterbro strait through today's lake Gjersjoen and the fjord that enters lake Arungen in As. (Map from the study)(Map from the study)
This is what the landscape around the Oslofjord looked like 7 500 years ago (left) and then 6 000 years ago (right). Archaeologists find fewer and fewer traces of people here towards the end of the Stone Age. But the inner part of the Bunnefjord continues to be an attractive settlement area for some people.(Map from the study)
