Odd; Oetzi had the same kind of shoe. Like a slipper that was laced across the instep. The kind of slipper with laces that you always see in fairy-tale illustrations of princesses.
so it was sort of the same culture from the Alps to the mountains of Norway?
I think most all polar peoples made and wore the high bootlike Kamiks, and the riders of the Kazakhastan steppes also wore knee-high boots.
Maybe this slipper design is a European Mesolithic thing.
At first glance, I thought that might be a picture of Helen Thomas’s foot.
It was all those dirty camp fires that they built to cook their food. There were so many camp fires, they caused greenhouse gas, and that sealed their fate. It caused global warming....oh, wait, it caused global cooling, didn’t it...yeah, that’s it.
Not to beat a dead horse, but this means that the ice was 'this small' some centuries ago.
Which - means - evidently - that this part of Norway was as warm or warmer than today 'some centuries ago'
What kind of SUVs did the Vikings drive?
Ok, same point made by everybody on the thread already. I’ll shut up now, LOL.
Why, it hasn’t been this warm for 3,400 years! Actually, doesn’t it mean that it was this warm 3,400 years ago? One could argue, then, that the temperatures have held about the same for at least 3,400 years.

So they had gasoline engines before these huts ever went under the ice?
