"Beer production and subsequent consumption...may even have been manipulated to create inequalities during the transition to the Late Cypriot Bronze Age."

Ssshhhh....don't tell CommieBama that those beer drinkers weren't paying their fair share. He'll tax our beer.

Science should focus on important subjects like this. Thanks for posting it.

I dunno how they could possibly know what a hole in thr ground was used for.

When you find ancient malted barley at the bottom and around it, and not fish bones... you might guess that it wasn't for making garum.

The dude building that circle kiln had been sampling the product.

I sent a link to this to the head of the chem. dept. at our local college. He’s also an avid home brewer. Nice to see a doctorate being used for a noble purpose!

Actually, I've been working on a mud brick bread oven... and could use it, I suppose, for malting barley. I hadn't given that much thought, but I could modify it at this point to do that. ;)

Thanks Renfield for the topic, and thanks GeronL and EveningStar for the pings.

This is my last Gods, Graves, Glyphs ping. This week’s Digest consists of just links to the various topics posted this week.

I’ve had it with A) the system suddenly multiplying the pings, and B) with the repetitive complaints about it in open threads and in FReepmail.

I’m glad everyone has been basically happy with the ping list until recently, and I do apologize (again) for the inconvenience caused by the multiple pings. The fact that I’d been pointing out the problem in those very messages showed me that the pingmeister role is an unnecessary one, and that no one is actually reading anything but the topic title. That’s as it should be.

With everything else that has happened in real life this year, and everything I’ve been trying to get done, and some cyber-changes (different broadband, different CPUs, different OSes, different locations) something has to go, and this is it. For the immediate future, the other ping lists will for the most part go on as usual, but I’m not sure that won’t change.

I’ll still post GGG topics, and will greatly enjoy not having to post topics when Renfield and many others post them instead. After tonight, the GGG presence will consist of just the message, or maybe just the presence of the keyword itself.

Anyway, thanks all 817 of you, it has been a great eight and a half years.

Besides the technical beer-making details, the social and economic affects of making beer are very interesting.

Gen. Geo. Washington had a brewry on Mt. Vernon, and used it for not only the estate consumption, but earning income.

Have you seen these ovens?.....http://www.losangelesovenworks.com/ovens/elisa-model-90-wood-burning-oven.html

I didn’t say it didn’t make sense. I think it does make sense. Back in those days you wouldn’t drink straight water very often if you could avoid it. They probably even gave watered down beer or wine (1/8th I think in Rome) to the kids.
