JGA/Glacial Archaeology Is Coming of Age

Even though there are known archaeological finds from the glacial ice discovered all the way back to 1914, it would be fair to say that glacial archaeology only really started to develop as a discipline in its own right after the mass melt out of finds in the Yukon from 1997 onwards. Since then, glacial archaeological sites and finds have appeared in a number of places around the world, as a consequence of the melting mountain ice caused by anthropogenic climate change.
