it is evidence that children lived or worked underground during this period.
The children have, and always will, yern for the mines.

About
Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.
Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.
The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

And the craft.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
An remarkably well-preserved child's shoe from the Iron Age has been found in Austria.
The latest discovery—an "extremely well-preserved" child's shoe—is estimated to be more than 2,000 years old, according to a press release.
The condition of the shoe found is outstanding," research department head Thomas Stoellner said in the press release.
Finds like this child's shoe…offer an extremely rare insight into the life of Iron Age miners.
This era was marked by the production of iron tools and weapons, which replaced their bronze equivalents.
Excavations in the area will continue over the coming years, in the hope that they will allow researchers to learn more about Iron Age miners and how they lived.
The original article contains 389 words, the summary contains 114 words. Saved 71%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Very interesting that there is hair on the outside of the shoe. I never thought of this and something i have never seen in reconstructions (or reenectment).
