"This year's dig concentrated principally on a site to the rear of the villa's car park."

They had cars back then? Just...Dang!

This kind of thread needs to be reconciled with the theories of Julian Jaynes in The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind.

If it ignores the Bicameral Mind theory...it is premature and half baked!

Even Richard Dawkins is moved by the idea of the Bicameral Mind...and recent neuro-imaging techniques have confirmed it.

If you readers don't know of it...the time is right for you to dig!

“A butt beaker, a type of Gaulish pre-Roman period drinking vessel, bronze tweezers, a flagon and a cremation jar were also discovered.”

Kind of an early Swiss Army Knife gadget? Odd combination of things to be found in a butt breaker, inmho...

A butt beaker...

I thought that was a long-nosed dog.

“...second century BC saucepan...”

It is obviously a Roman (Italian) settlement. Unless there is a good tomato sauce for the food then life is not worth living.
