As glaciers recede in Northern Europe they reveal artifacts, such as this 4th century wool tunic found in Norway. The tunic is woven in an advanced style and is one of very few known from this period. Without close attention other such artifacts may be lost, decomposed or washed away, before archaeologists can get to them.
