Archaeologists surveyed melting ice patches in Canada and uncovered dozens of ancient artifacts spanning 7,000 years. Photos show the “unique” — and perishable — finds. After two winters with “extremely low snowpack,” researchers set out to survey several melting ice patches in Mount Edziza Provincial Park in the summer of 2019, according to a study published Oct. 31 in the Journal of Field Archaeology. Mount Edziza Provincial Park is a volcanic landscape that is “extremely significant” to the Tahltan, one of Canada’s indigenous First Nations, the study said. The Tahltan have used the mountains for seasonal hunts for centuries and continue to do so today. Previous scientists had located many “vast obsidian quarries” and obsidian artifacts in the park, but the nearby ice patches had not been studied as extensively. Researchers said they were intrigued by the possibility of finding perishable ancient artifacts preserved in the ice. So as the ice melted under the summer sun, researchers visited nine ice patches — and found 56 perishable artifacts, the study said. “Most of the perishable artifacts were manufactured from wood, including birch bark containers, projectile shafts, and walking staffs,” researchers said. Other artifacts were made “using animal remains include a stitched hide boot and carved antler and bone tools.” Archaeologists found two bark containers with stitching. A photo shows one of these containers. The 2,000-year-old piece of bark is folded with two rows of stitching along one side and some of the stitching material still left in the holes, the study said. The other “unique” bark container has sticks stitched into its sides, suggesting it was part of a reinforced basket used for transporting heavy loads. Researchers said it dated back over 1,400 years.

Still things being uncovered by melting ice.

That is nice—and understandable, right?

MWP—LIA—AGW or grow—freeze—thaw

Exactly. Except for AGW. And yet you are so scared of the current thaw.  ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

It is thawing but it isn’t AGW.

Is it the fairies at the bottom of your garden causing the thaw?

There may be some AGW. However it has not been quantified. You, for example, believe all the warming since before the Industrial Revolution, is AGW. ::)

So no explanation.

Has to be driven by something.

Remember, the Milankovitch Cycle should be cooling us—natural variation would have made us colder, not hotter.

TRY and understand the subject matter, lees.

I do better than you. You seem to think everything has been discovered. ::)

No, things don’t just happen, there have to be forcings.

We know the Milankovitch Cycle is cooling the area north of 65°N. That area is the fastest warming area on the globe!

Natural variation explains nothing.

But that ignores other factors. Why do you need to ignore other factors? Why do you think Milankovitch is the sole detwerminant?

Natural variation explains nothing.

And yet it does explain a lot.

"The Earth’s climate has exhibited marked "natural" changes, with time scales varying from many millions of years down to a few years. For example:

    Changes in land and ocean floor topography have had major influences on global climate at time scales of 50 million to 150 million years. (These changes influenced the patterns of absorption of incoming radiation from the sun, and affected circulation patterns in the atmosphere and oceans).
    Over the last two million years the onset and recession of the great Ice Ages were probably influenced by changes in the earth’s orbit and the tilt of its axis, which caused systematic variations in the amount and distribution of solar radiation. The difference in globally averaged temperatures between glacials (“ice ages”) and interglacials is about 5°C.
    Since the end of the last ice age (14,000–10,000 years ago) globally averaged surface temperatures have fluctuated over a range of up to 2°C on time scales of centuries or more. Factors influencing these changes probably included fluctuations in the radiation output from the sun, and changes in circulation and overturning in the oceans. These temperature variations through the Holocene (the last 10,000 years) have been small compared to those during ice ages. In fact the Holocene has probably been the longest “warm stable” period over the past 400,000 years.
    Over periods of a few years, fluctuations in global surface temperatures of a few tenths of a degree are common. Some of these are related to the El Niño–Southern Oscillation phenomenon, and major volcanic eruptions have also had some effects."

No, this is not a forum for debate at all.

Why not run for Mod of Extremism when that election comes around? No qualifications needed! No thinking either.

You have earned none.

Just don’t act like a complete numpty all the time!

Does a tree just fall down?

Nope!

A tree might fall down because:

Disease has rotted the trunk.

Someone has cut most of the way through the trunk.

A much stronger than normal wind blew the tree over.

Otherwise it would still be there, no?

Monk,
log off and go to bed -

When it comes to melting ice, here is a nice figure to know:

The energy needed to melt 1g of ice will heat the 1g of water at 0°C to 80°C.

This is a ridiculous board.

It put on less than half the number of posts of another comparably sized board, a fifth of what Relationshits put on.

It never discusses the environment.

Booby has no education and so has no knowledge and no ability to think clearly. Hence he falls victim to whatever conman or catfisher is around: DuByne, Blight, Larry.

For the good of OzPol resign as Mod here. You are making a mess of this board. Hell, Environment should be on 200,000 posts with lots of links to high quality publications, it sits on 65K posts. Pathetic.

Of course, Booby won’t resign. Being Mod of this dead board gives him status—in his befuddled mind anyway.
