There is a Viking graveyard called Lindholm Hoje near Aalborg, which sits near a huge fjord. One day in the 11th century, a sandstorm blew in and buried some farm fields near the edge of the graveyard. A local villager drove a two-wheeled carriage over the field, probably in an attempt to flee the storm. The sand covered the field and the tracks for almost a thousand years until 1956 when archeologists began excavating the site. You can see the carriage tracks and the footprints of the owner plainly. It is eerie to think that you’re looking at traces of a man who was alive around the time of the Battle of Hastings.
Nice! Stuff like that really makes archaeology come alive. One of the first explorers of “ice age” caves found the impressions of bare feet in the moist clay — impressions kept fresh by the conditions, but 10s of 1000s of years old.
