We are archaeologists

We became archaeologists this afternoon after receiving some 'organic remains' from Eric the archaeologist.  Unfortunately he was unable to detect from which time period his samples came and so we were tasked with the job. 

We spent some time discussing the different things that man has eaten from Stone Age through to Roman and Modern Day and used these ideas along side the 'poo clues' Eric had left for us. Then we set about dissecting the organic remains to decide from which period of time each poo came from. 

It was a very messy job but we succeeded on our quest and discovered that Neolithic people ate lots of grain, fish bones and sometimes even grit!
