We have reconstructed a pair of Iron Age skies, which we recovered from melting ice. We use a skiiing technique that we learned from skihunters in the Chinese Altai
Sweet video. Do you have any videos or more details on the bindings? I'm an archaeologist in Alaska and would like to build a pair of these skis for a public talk. Thanks.
Hi, check out this link where you will find a blogpost on skis from glacial ice and a link to our open access paper on this ski (and others), including scale drawings and reconstruction. Good luck! secretsoftheice.com/news/2018/10/04/skis/
Ancient ski history has been sort of a dead end with the sources exhausted. There are very few if any serious conferences on this topic. You can check out this blogpost on ancient skis from the glacial ice if you wish: secretsoftheice.com/news/2018/10/04/skis/
At last some good experimental archeology videos!
This is amazing 👍

Thank you for the video. Where it's possible to see more details about this particular fixtures (I mean shoe-to-ski joint) ?
You can find more information and a link to a scientific paper on the skis from the ice here: secretsoftheice.com/news/2018/10/04/skis/
