The Things We Find
The receding ice patches and glaciers have also paved the way for the discovery of a different activity pattern. At mountain ranges, we see objects unique to the area that lets us understand what people were doing in the region. In North American and Norwegian ice patches, tools for hunting are common. In the Alps, travel gear is not unusual. In South America, ritual artifacts were unearthed. How fascinating is this?
The Willow Bow
The willow bow is yet another weapon discovered in the receding ice patches. Made using willow wood, the bow was likely used to hunt reindeer and elk. This specific bow goes back to around 340 years in the past. It was among the first findings made by Tom Andrews! He rallied support from national and local funders to go on the expedition. He also used helicopters and aerial photos to accomplish his mission!
