New age record for Scandinavian ice finds: This arrow fragment from one of our sites has just been radiocarbon-dated to c. 4100 BC ❤️ #glacialarchaeology #globalwarming #climatechange #archery🎯

This 1500-year-old arrow was still stuck in the ice when we found it. We melted it out using lukewarm water. Look at the preservation 😍: the shaft and sinew are perfectly preserved and the Iron arrowhead is just slightly rusted. The ice really is a time machine 🙂 #glacialarchaeology #climatechange #globalwarming

After three weeks of continuous posts of great ice finds, we have been quiet for the last few days. Here is why: We have fresh snow ❄️❄️❄️ covering our sites, making fieldwork impossible. We will see if this early winter snow will melt or stay. It ain't over 'til it's over 🙂 #glacialarchaeology (Photo: Øyvind Angard)

Wow! 😍 Got this photo from a mountain hiker.
Yesterday, we surveyed the find spot and collected the leather object, together with textile and horse dung melting out of the ice. Looks like another mountain pass ❤️ Not sure what the object is. A shoe? #glacialarchaeology #globalwarming #climatechange
