The oldest traces of settlement in Vest- Agder go back about 8000 years, perhaps even more. It is estimated that the coast has been ice- free from about 11000years. Thereafter the hunters and trappers settled in an area where the climate was similar to that of present- day Svalbard or the west coast of Greenland. Along this coast they found fish, shellfish and seals. In the hills there were reindeer, moose, deer and bears.
