Abstract
The retreating Brunifirn glacier in the Alps of central Switzerland exposed a rock crystal extraction site exploited during the Early and Late Mesolithic. It has yielded organic objects preserved in the ice as well as rock crystal and quartz extraction waste, knapping debris, and tools.
期刊介绍:
Norwegian Archaeological Review published since 1968, aims to be an interface between archaeological research in the Nordic countries and global archaeological trends, a meeting ground for current discussion of theoretical and methodical problems on an international scientific level. The main focus is on the European area, but discussions based upon results from other parts of the world are also welcomed. The comments of specialists, along with the author"s reply, are given as an addendum to selected articles. The Journal is also receptive to uninvited opinions and comments on a wider scope of archaeological themes, e.g. articles in Norwegian Archaeological Review or other journals, monographies, conferences.
