Archaeologists conducting surveys of retreating ice patches have found perishable artefacts associated with ancient mining activities.

The study, published in the Journal of Field Archaeology, reports that the researchers have found over 50 perishable artefacts near Goat Mountain and the Kitsu Plateau, located in northern British Columbia, Canada.

Among the artefacts are stitched containers made from birch bark, wooden walking staffs, intricately carved and beveled sticks, an atlatl dart foreshaft, and a boot crafted from stitched hide.

According to the researchers: “Most of the perishable artefacts were manufactured from wood, including birch bark containers, projectile shafts, and walking staffs. Of the pieces of wood found, most had evidence of being worked or used.”

Items fashioned from animal remains include a stitched hide boot and tools carved from antler and bone. Additionally, unaltered bones were discovered, possibly attributable to natural deposition processes.

Melting ice reveals human artifacts.

Total alarmism. 10,000 years ago there was a mile of ice over New York City. If the U.S. had existed in those times our nut job government and leisure class would be trying to save the @!#%@ ice sheets.

Must have been cold working inside that glacier every day.

[Alas Babylon!]

Hmmm.... Why was it warmer back then before the ice covered it up until now?

Was it Native American SUVs? Beringian coal plants?

[VTenigma]

Did the Obsidian miners have SUVs?

I have a lovely piece of obsidian from Paulina Lake, Oregon. My son in law found it for me. It’s not terribly big, but a good little chunk, maybe an inch by an inch and a half. I love that he found it for me. I use it as a paper weight. I think it’s kinda cool.

Yes, Virginia. The earth was once quite a bit warmer than it is today & before the widespread use of fossil fuels..

[Adder]

Which means thousands of years ago there was no ice during the mining....

So which is “normal”?
Ice?
Or
No ice?

[ealgeone]

Hmmmmm….now what can we conclude from that?

“Was it Native American SUVs? Beringian coal plants?”

No. It was the Woolly Mammoths’ fault for releasing gas.

That’s why the wooly mammoths are gone.

So this means that there was NO ICE there at the time.............

Therefore the climate was way hotter than it is now.......................

[Texan5]

With all the evidence being found of humans living, trading, traveling-apparently thriving in a warmer climate before the Ice Age really locked down, I become more certain that the global warming/climate change alarmists are hopelessly in denial-there must be a way to put us out of their misery...

[Texan5]
