[h-cost] Iron age tunic found in melting snow.
I thought you might like to see the photograph and read the piece about this complete tunic found in melting snow in Norway. It is thought to have been made between 230 and 390 AD. (There were also some archery equipment from a much earlier period revealed as the snow retreats.) http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-23849332 This is just a press release about two papers in the Journal of Antiquity, to which some of you may have access. Marianne Vedeler, of the University of Oslo, is the author of article about the tunic. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Re: [h-cost] Iron age tunic found in melting snow.
Greetings, That is super cool! I think what I find most interesting about it is the apparent round armscye - rather than the rectangular construction one would tend to expect from the time period. Of course this is from a time or place I admittedly know little of.
