    Melting snow in Norway has led to the discovery of an intact Iron Age sweater that has been dated so the 3rd or 4th century A.D.  The article states that the find is rare and is only one of a handful of full garments from this millennium existing today.Melting Snow Reveals Iron Age Sweater

    That is a neat story except for the mutliple gratuitous claims of global warming spread throughout the story.

    Yeah, I noticed that as well.  But did you see the comments at the bottom from the people wondering about the SUVs being used in ancient times which caused the snow to have receded back then?  Funny.
