It’s not out of the question since we know that Hellenistic Europe had contact with East Asia/China and this contact probably preceded the Hellenistic period. Silk was a known but rare commodity at the time so while it’s good to see evidence, it’s not something that should be a surprise.

McMaster University is in Hamilton, Ontario. It’s not far from one of the War of 1812 battlefields (Battle of Stoney Creek, June 6, 1813, a British victory). The battle was supposedly over in 45 minutes—less time than a football game.
