Hafner, Albert (6 June 2012). New results and new ice-borne finds from high-alpine passes in the Bernese Alps (Switzerland) (Unpublished). In: Frozen Pasts: The 3rd International Glacial Archaeology Symposium. Whitehorse/Yukon, Canada. 03.-08.06.21012.
Archaeological finds from Schnidejoch (2756 m a.s.l.) and Lötschenpass (2690 m a.s.l.) cover the periods from the Early Neolithic to the Middle Ages (4800 BC - 1000 AD). The numerous finds from Schnidejoch discovered since 2003 can now be seen in relationship with Neolithic and Bronze Age settlements in the Rhone valley and together with the early use of alpine meadows and early transhumance. Finds of Early Bronze Age bows from Lötschenpass go back to the 1930ies. New finds of wooden objects and objects made from birch bark melted out from the ice in the summer of 2011. The lecture presents these new finds and an actualized view of Schnidejoch finds.
