So it was as warm 4000 years ago as it is now?

It got colder sometime after 2000 BC and we’re just now warming up to those earlier levels!

Alas, the technology for ice-penetrating arrows is long lost.

"Once they have decided on a location, they hike up to it and camp sometimes for weeks on end while scouring the margins where the ice has just melted. They slowly patrol up and down the ribbon of bare rock where the surrounding lichen has yet to rebound (a process that takes hundreds of years), looking for what the ice has just released."

Wow, that is amazing perseverance and patience! We just visited the Columbia Glacier on the Icefields Parkway between Banff and Jasper, AB. Looking at the scale of the lateral and terminal moraines you get an appreciation for the mammoth size and power of the glaciers. I can't imagine the patience required to search through all the rocks for ancient artifacts like this arrow shaft. Kudos to the team for doing this work!

So…..it must’ve been warmer 4,000 years ago. We’re Iron Age people driving around carbon emitting SUVs or something?

Once again, proof that man made climate change is a lie!

Earth’s climate has been changing since day 1. Humans in comparison to other factors such as the sun, moon, rotation and tilt, has no more effect on climate then a butterfly fart!
