Interesting. Can you give a 1-3 sentence summary of the most interesting findings from the brick?

Almost all the DNA came from edible plants.

Apparently, there are many well preserved documents from that time and place that discuss food, so the scientists have been able to match up the DNA with what plants were being cultivated and consumed, by animals and humans, in that time period.

The most exciting part - when we start to isolate human DNA from the bricks, we will be able to trace human and animal migration going back almost 10,000 years.
