Current Warming Reveals Past Warming with Archaeological Finds
Archaeologists working in the Alps are finding more and more neolithic finds dating back to the last time the area was more ice free and habitable by early humans. As current glaciers melt, more artifacts are turning up, in surprisingly good shape due to being in a deep freeze for thousands of years.
"The site is exactly at the point where the glacier responds most sensitively to short-term climate change and temperature variations," he explains. "So if we get more carbon datings from this site, we can get the most precise picture of short-term glacier fluctuations for the past six or 7,000 years."
