I sometimes find it helpful to read the article before posting....It says the clothes were worn near the fire. Not hunting Caribu in a slit skirt....

Thank you for posting that. I was going to get coffee with multiple shots of espresso, since I have a midterm in two hours, but your post woke me up already! :)

“Their clothing was designed to be shown off indoors around the fire,” says textile researcher Annika Larsson.”

My experience is that the front is warm near a fire and the back is cold . . . but then again they say that Socrates went without shoes in the snow in Athens so maybe they were tougher in those days.

I’m sure they had big fur cloaks, wraps and coats for outside travel and they do have things called summers up there, too.

Alexander made his men bathe in cold water to toughen them up.
And he had soldiers near the end of his campaigns who were in their 60s. Foot soldiers, not some general in the command tent, either.

What, you think Christianity had no influence on pagan Europe’s sexual mores? Ever pick up a history book? Or read the early church fathers views on women and sex?

May I suggest barbells and a focus on shoulders, neck and forearms?

I'm not saying there was no influence. What I was attempting to remark on was the surprise expressed in the discovery something new -- and immediately theorizing that this surprising discovery was ended by the repressive tenets of Christianity.
Perhaps it was. But where's the evidence?? All they have is a surprising new discovery about what people wore. They've completely extrapolated the role that Christianity may or may not have played.
Once upon a time science cared more about facts. Now they care about juicy guesses that fit in with the political agendas. Their colleagues are more apt to slap them on the back for that stuff.

You’re a big fan of the “Lite Beer from Miller” logo? /s

Youre a big fan of the Lite Beer from Miller logo? I'm not going to answer that. I am going to say, however, that pictures of scantily-clad cheerleaders do work better at waking up a sleepy engineering undergrad than coffee.

"Not that we're making a leap in some sort of effort to smear Christians as the "no fun" crowd, or anything. "
I'd guess it was a little too cold for Muu-Muus.
