http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23849332 An Iron Age tunic is among the discoveries found under melting snow on Norwegian mountains. Other findings include Neolithic arrows and bow fragments, thought to be about 6000 years old. Snow on the Norwegian mountains, and elsewhere, is rapidly melting due to climate change, which is now unveiling a world of well preserved new discoveries. The findings are published in two papers in the journal Antiquity. "The new find is of great significance for dress and textile production and how these reflect the interplay between northern Europe and the Roman world," said Marianne Vedeler from the University of Oslo, Norway, who analysed the garment. Well, it's certainly a convenient way to do archaeology ! I wonder what we'll be able to learn from these findings?
