11277 BCE to 9550 BCE

The first inhabitants of present Norway are the Ahrensburg culture (eleventh to tenth millennia BCE), which is a late Upper Paleolithic culture during the Younger Dryas, the last period of cold at the end of the Weichsel glaciation.

The culture is named after the village of Ahrensburg, twenty-five kilometers (15.53 miles) northeast of Hamburg in the German state of Schleswig-Holstein, where wooden arrow shafts and clubs have been excavated.
