Archaeologists have discovered the oldest aboriginal moccasin ever found in Canada while studying melting alpine ice for clues on early life, Reuters reports today. The 1,400-year-old moccasin is of importance because it far predates any European trade contact with the region.

"It is a significant addition to the wealth of archaeological artifacts that have been found at Yukon ice patches," Yukon Culture Minister Elaine Taylor said in a news release.
