#Archeologists in Norway found an arrow that was likely trapped in ice for 4,000 years

by Dustin Jones, September 6, 2023

"Archeologists in Norway discovered an arrow shaft that appears to be from the #StoneAge, meaning it is approximately 4,000 years old.

"The discovery was made on the side of #MountLauvhøe, which stands at just over 6,500 feet in Norway's Lom Municipality. Archeologists had found arrows from the Iron and Middle ages when they last surveyed the area in 2017. However, this arrow shaft was found after ice at the site melted away in recent years, according to Lars Holger Pilø, co-director Secrets of the Ice, part of Norway's Department of Cultural Heritage.

"He said the discovery predates earlier finds by more than 2,000 years, which adds a lot more "time depth" to the site. Researchers can determine the age of the artifact by its shape, but will submit a sample of the wood for carbon dating once the field season is over."

Last but not least today, we have a session at #EAA2023 starting after the afternoon coffee break:
#s297 On the Margins: Understanding the Centre - Periphery Interaction during the Transition to Farming. Organised by Peter Tóth, Penny Bickle, & Maria Ivanova-Bieg. 16:30-18:30, New Physics Building Bell

We hope you have a great day with lots of #Palaeolithic, #Mesolithic, #Neolithic and general #Prehistoric, #StoneAge and #huntergatherer research around!

Researchers have reconstructed two family trees spanning several generations from a Stone Age cemetery in France. They used DNA and isotope analyses to reveal the kinship and mobility patterns of the people buried there. They found that men stayed close to their birthplace, while women moved to live with their partners, suggesting a matrilocal society. #StoneAge #FamilyTree #Matrilocality https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/in-a-stone-age-community-women-moved-while-men-stayed-with-family/

Unutterably stoked to say I'll be in the upcoming Old Moon Quarterly, but I'll try anyway.

It's a weird risky story I never thought would find a home, let alone alongside one of my favorite writers. It's my 30th publication credit, my 5th pro rate sale, and my 8th piece of #StoneAge #fantasy to find a home.

I don't know when paleofiction became my niche, but I'm a sucker for a nice microlith these days.

Very interesting.

Not something the average conservative white-christian douche will accept easily. 🤷‍♂️ 😂

Managed to write a few word for #PrimalQuest today. Working some #RandomTables and tools like the ones I made for my older games. So get ready for some adventure generators, title generators, faction generators, and so on. Working on it for the Book of Creation, a supplement to help you create all sorts of things for the game.

Did you know #PrimalQuest had a #GMScreen? Well, now you do!

Oh, I should mention it’s for the Spanish edition of my #StoneAndSorcery #TTRPG!

But… we will have one for the original version too!

#OpenAccess Short report Otto Blehr: "Elk hunting on crusted snow in the Stone Age" Does this rock carving from Vyg, Russia, show a winter hunt of elk/moose? Similar carving from Kanozero seem to show bear hunt in the snow.

A few more #Layout spread studies for the upcoming toolkit for #PrimalQuest called #FERAL, with tools for improvising, #SoloPlay, and #GMLess play (which is how I play with my kid and all kinds of #Naruto elements get thrown into our Thaia).

Great work by @gontijo on the #GraphicDesign, and @felipesarau, @felipemuky on the #Artwork! Written by me and Peter Rudin-Burgess!
