In the Holocene climatic optimum ( stone age ) 9, 000 5, 000 years ago, the regional climate was warmer, and large parts of Hardangervidda were wooded; warming, Hardangervidda could again be largely wooded ( ).

The climate at this time was warm; it had reached a maximum during a series of warming events during the Early Eocene with the Princeton Chert likely deposited after the Eocene Thermal Maximum 2 and during the Early Eocene Climatic Optimum.

The regional climate was up to 1-3 �C warmer in 7000 BC to 3000 BC in the Holocene climatic optimum, ( relative to the 1961-90 period ), melting the remaining glaciers in the mountains almost completely during that period.

By 6, 000 years ago, the time normally associated with the Holocene Climatic Optimum in the Northern Hemisphere, these regions had reached temperatures similar to those existing in the modern era, and did not participate in the temperature changes of the north.

By studying the fossil composition of sediment samples recovered, scientists have inferred that a major retreat of the Amery Ice Shelf to at least 80 km landward of its present location may have occurred during the mid-Holocene climatic optimum ( about 5, 700 years ago ).

The end of the Uruk period coincided with the Piora oscillation, a dry period from c . 3200 2900 BC that marked the end of a long wetter, warmer climate period from about 9, 000 to 5, 000 years ago, called the Holocene climatic optimum.

The ice core contained distinct melt layers all the way to bedrock indicating that Hans Tausen contains no ice from the glaciation; i . e ., the world's northernmost ice cap melted away during the post-glacial climatic optimum and was rebuilt when the climate got colder some 4000 years ago.

The ice core contained distinct melt layers all the way to bedrock indicating that Hans Tausen Iskappe contains no ice from the last glaciation; i . e ., the world s northernmost ice cap melted away during the post-glacial climatic optimum and was rebuilt when the climate got colder some 4000 years ago.

Research using sediment in lakes near the Okstind Glacier has shown that the summer climate in Nordland was up to 2.5 �C warmer 9, 000 to 6, 000 years ago, and then slowly cooled-it was 0.5 �C warmer 2, 000 years before present ( see Holocene climatic optimum . ).

For the entire duration of this culture's history, the earth had been going through what paleoclimatologists have called the Holocene climatic optimum, which lasted from 7000 to 3200 BC . During this time, the earth was both warmer and wetter than it has been at any time since the end of the last Ice Age, making conditions optimal for growing crops.
