Using chemical analysis of ancient, and incredibly well-preserved pottery found in the waters surrounding small artificial islands called crannogs in Scotland, the team were able to discern that cereals were cooked in pots and mixed with dairy products and occasionally meat, probably to create early forms of gruel and stew. They also discovered that the people visiting these crannogs used smaller pots to cook cereals with milk and larger pots for meat-based dishes...
Cereal cultivation in Britain dates back to around 4000 BCE was probably introduced by migrant farmers from continental Europe. This is evidenced by some, often sparse and sporadic, recovery of preserved cereal grains and other debris found at Neolithic sites.
At this time pottery was also introduced into Britain and there is widespread evidence for domesticated products like milk products in molecular lipid fingerprints extracted from the fabric of these pots. However, with exception for millet, it has not yet been possible to detect molecular traces of accompanying cereals in these lipid signatures, although these went on to become a major staple that dominates the global subsistence economy today...
The findings indicate that wheat was being cooked in pots, despite the fact that the limited evidence from charred plant parts in this region of Atlantic Scotland points mainly to barley.

Dairy products? Really? Dairy products?
Did they not realize because of their evil dairy and meat consuming ways they were contributing to climate change that disproportionately affects women, the transgendered, and people of color?
What did they think they were doing?
Bigots.
Probably what caused the “Little Ice Age”!
Humans destroying the planet since beginning of time!
Oh no! Oh no!
is the word.
So when they ate grass-fed meat and wild-caught fish, did they call it the paleo diet?
:^) They just called it diet.
The main problem was, trying to carry the side of slaw.
Shows that the whole global warming hoax is udderly ridiculous.
Haggis that would work.
Their ancestors (or at least that’s what the paperwork says) may have still been in Ireland at the time. They’d have invaded Caledonia much earlier, but they kept falling out of the boats, drunk.
