Oh, if only. We have to rely on peat bogs to preserve our pre-history and there are just so many questions. The more I study the period the more questions I have. I'm working on the 'time lens'; I'll let you know when it's working

Yes, Oetzi is sick of us pestering him over obvious (at least to him) things.

A quick look at some of the items found.

The same happened in the highlands of Norway, as far as I remember the artifacts are younger though, like viking arrows.

We have Paviland man (woman) , and Cheddar man, but there's not the same level of organic material.
There's stuff that came up from the Crannog sites, leather and so on, but it's still such an impoverished archaeological record, such a poor impression of their society.

How amazing that we can connect with ancestors from thousands and thousands of years ago with materials and crafting methods we can still use today. Fascinating stuff, what a find.

Could this not also be a sign of climate change and as such it is actually less than positive?

Sorry for the negative POV but I understand such archaeological climate change dividends are happening in Scandinavian countries too. Iirc I read there was a research team in a Norwegian University who have been working on receding ice due to climate change for many years. Each season ice and snow areas that once never melted fully and indeed were much larger than now have been giving up interesting finds for a long time. Good for archeology but not good for the planet I reckon.

Reminds me of the last time I had to defrost the freezer. Ancient organic artefacts all over the place.

Read recently of a complete skeleton found in the UK, he's thought to have been born 2,400km away in southern Russia.

At the beginning of a certain special operation there was a little chatter about origins of the peoples of both nations and indeed the third neighbour. Apparently the land was settled by norsemen. I wonder if this is indication of migration east and a return west of these peoples of norse origin? I'm only musing and might be talking of migration in different eras.

Of course even in neolithic era trade and probably migration happened. I remember hearing that stone axe heads mined in great Langdales in Cumbria were highly regarded grave goods all through Europe and into Eastern Europe too I believe.
