Bronze Age spearheads with gold ornaments found in Denmark – The History Blog
https://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/74839
"Two Bronze Age spearheads decorated with gold have been discovered in Boeslunde, Denmark. There are no known comparable examples of gold ornamented spears from this period in all of Europe, but they would be extraordinary even without the gold because the spearheads are made from iron."

Read more from Phys.org, including info about the practice of carrying wooden coffins with the remains of the deceased up onto steep slopes. Maybe you can figure out how they got up there:

Engraved onyx Medusa found in Hallstatt – The History Blog
https://www.thehistoryblog.com/archives/74832
