GRAZ, Austria -- Archeologists believe they have found a key dating back to the late Bronze Age in southern Austria, an Austrian news agency reported.
The 16 inch long bronze key was only the third of its kind to be found in Austria, archaeologist Maria Windhager-Konrad said according to the Austria Press Agency .
Experts were fascinated by the position of the 3,200-year-old key, which was surrounded by Bronze Age axes and other items, the report said.
"The items must have been placed like that on purpose," the report quoted archaeologist Bernhard Hebert as saying.
