Melting ice reveals Stone Age artifacts as ancient ice vanishes

Original: The oldest ice disappears and the Stone Age emerges from it

Scientists report that disappearing ancient ice in Norway and other glaciated regions is exposing Stone Age objects that had been frozen for thousands of years. As climate change accelerates the melt, archaeologists are racing to recover and study tools, weapons and organic remains before they deteriorate. The finds are shedding new light on prehistoric life, but researchers stress the same warming that reveals them is destroying fragile evidence.
