This is amazing...

"Many metal alloys have antimicrobial properties that help preserve proteins on cauldrons. Microbes in the dirt that would normally degrade the proteins left behind on surfaces made of stone or ceramic are stopped on metal alloys."

Then there's this banality...

"The cauldrons show signs of wear and tear from use, but also signs of extensive repair. Taking the time to repair the kitchen tools suggests that they were a valuable object that required skill to make.

What? They just didn't toss the old cauldron and go to Cauldrons-R-Us or Cauldron City and pick up a new one? Color me shocked!
