Prehistoric Finds in the Swiss Alps

Großansicht des Bildes mit der Bildunterschrift:

Melting glaciers and ice fields in the Swiss Alps have uncovered spectacular archaeological finds that have been in the ice for thousands of years.

Besides the well-known and unique "Ötzi" in the Eastern Alps, comparable discoveries have recently been made also in Scandinavia and Alaska. What did prehistoric people do in the high mountains? Where did they come from? How did they use the resources and the environment? And what do these finds tell us regarding past, current and future climate change? A conference in Berne brought together climate specialists, glaciologists and archaeologists from all over Europe and Alaska, looking at what melting glaciers reveal about prehistoric life in the mountains. Imogen Foulkes reports from Berne.
