CNN —A shoe belonging to a child and dating back more than 2,000 years has been unearthed in Austria with its laces still intact. The condition of the shoe found is outstanding,” Professor Thomas Stoellner, head of the Research Department at the German Mining Museum, said in the press release. Excavation work at Dürrnberg is being done to obtain information on the work and lives of Iron age miners, according to the museum. Finding a child’s shoe is “always something special,” because it shows that children were present underground, the museum said. Finds like this child’s shoe, but also textile remains or excrement like those found on Dürrnberg, offer an extremely rare insight into the life of Iron Age miners.”
