I guess it was inevitable the authors of the article would drag Global Warming in. Suggests to me that it was warmer up there at some point, warm enough for there to actually be enough food and browse to support herds of Caribou/Reindeer and draw Neolithic hunters to the region. Hmmm....maybe even as warm as it is....today!
Curious that the author seems distressed that the artifacts were exposed by melting snow. If not exposed by melting, whether by cyclical climatic changes or a simple warm spell, how else would they ever find this stuff? What good are artifacts buried in the ice, never to be found. found that comment kind of curious.
Another interesting thing they found but only a couple thousand years old....hunters back then also wore wool of some sort...how cool is that?
