As ice fields melt in Norway, archaeologists are uncovering ancient weapons, tools and clothing, and racing to preserve the material record before it is destroyed.
Since the singing sweltering summer of 2006, just about 3,000 archeological antiques have showed up from the softening ice in Oppland, Northern Norway. Among them, an Iron Age tunic, a 1,500-year-old bolt and a 3,400-year-old shoe.
Terrifying sticks (1 meter long sticks with a mobile article appended to the top) were set up in lines to control reindeer towards trackers, who were stowing away in the territory. These are dated to around 500 AD.
A Viking Age bolt was found at an ice site in the Jotunheimen Mountains. About 70 bolts have been found on this site. The most seasoned goes back 6,000 years.
The mummy of Otzi the Iceman lies in plain view at the Archeological Museum of Bolzano in Italy.
