5500 år gammal sko i Armenien
« skrivet: juni 11, 2010, 09:50 »
Vad som uppenbarligen är världens hittills äldsta bevarade sko har hittats i Armenien.
500 år äldre än det tidigare "rekordet" som innehades av Ötzi, ismannen.

Frågan är ju såklart, var det Adidas eller Nike? :)

It would have fitted the foot of a woman today – although it may have been worn by a mann at the time, claim the researchers.

Detta är på grund av att skon troligtvis har krymt i de torra förhållandena i grottan (det är alltså onödigt att tala om storlek 37 som det stod i dagens Metro).

Kanske ska ta och passa på och trycka på att alla arkeologer som besöker detta forum tänker på att vattendränkt läder (alltså inte sådant som hittades i grottan, men det är ändå relevant) skall hållas fuktigt tills det kommit till konservator och inte lufttorkas, då det krymper och deformeras av detta. Sådana skor är det ingen ide att mäta efter storlek..
Då man konserverar detta läder behandlar man det med  PEG och frystorkar istället, så att det behåller hålla sin form och storlek.

Lite OT, men viktigt. :)

Tydligen vet man redan en del om män i skor;

It is important to note that both the Iceman's footwear and those from Arnold Research Cave differ from most prehistoric European footwear known to date as they are made of relatively soft leather and lack a vamp. One-piece cow-hide shoes with a vamp have been found across Europe, including Bronze Age Ronbjerg Mose, Denmark [2] and at Early Medieval (200–500 A.D.) Drumacoon Bog, Ireland [2], [14]. An additional shoe found on the Aran Islands of Ireland was made using the same manufacturing technology as the Areni-1 shoe. In Ireland, these shoes are known as “Pampooties,” and are reported to last a very short time, typically no longer than one month.

Enormous similarities exist between the manufacturing technique and style of one-piece leather-hide shoes across Europe and the one reported here from Areni-1 Cave, suggesting that shoes of this type were worn for millennia across a large and environmentally diverse geographic region. Given the simplicity of these shoes, it is possible that the design and technology of the shoe was independently invented in various locations across Europe and Southwest Asia.

The similarity of the cut and lacing is striking, however, so it also plausible that the technology was invented in one place and spread across the region. Currently the shoe from Areni-1 is the oldest of this type and is also the oldest shoe from Eurasia. While these shoes may have been invented in the Caucasus, given the rarity of such finds it is impossible at this stage to assess when and where the first footwear of this type was first developed. It is likely, however, that the earliest footwear predates the Areni-1 shoe significantly.

Recent biomechanical research on pedal phalangeal robusticity among Upper Pleistocene humans [15], [16] suggests that footwear was already in use during the Middle Palaeolithic and became more common during the middle Upper Palaeolithic (~27,500 cal. BP). The biomechanical analysis shows gracialisation of the middle 3rd, 4th, and 5th pedal foot phalanges with a retention of robust lower limbs and halluces. Trinkaus [15], [16] suggests that this is the consequence of a reduction in the habitual loads on the forefoot related to the use of footwear which can be traced back to mid-latitude archaic modern humans (Tainyuan I, China).
