Adzes of greenstone from Hespriholmen have been found on Stone Age localities along the entire southwestern coast of Norway.
This is an ongoing research project at the University Museum and the University of Bergen, which aims to use photogrammetry, GIS and film to document quarries from the Stone Age.
