You Wouldn't Believe What Scientists Found Frozen in Glaciers and Lakes

The Birch Basket 

In 2003, Italian archeologists discovered a preserved basket weaved out of birch bark and young birch branches in the Alps. This basket is said to have dated back 650 years, right when agriculture was being developed in the surrounding area. It is assumed that this basket was used to collect edible vegetation and berries on a larger scale than just holding them.
