Doesn’t look like any Maytag Blue I’ve ever seen.

If there were holes in it they’d know it was Swiss Cheese.

I am always amazed when ancient man is characterized as half a level above the intelligence of a gerbil. Then they find food or more sophisticated weapons than they expected and act surprised.

An ancient award to Mr. Ancient Miner for his excellent culinary skills and good taste! Maybe if they keep the analyses going, they will find evidence of brats und graubrot in that coprolite.

I like both beer and blue cheese, particularly if the blue cheese is on a good burger with a beer to wash it down.

Bean and barley soup can be pretty darn good too.

I guess some things don’t change.

How do we know they enjoyed it? Maybe they were, “Meh...it’s alright I guess, but I wish somebody should invent spaghetti and meatballs.”

Silly.
Beer is the basis of civilization. It’s what makes people settle down and grow cereal grains in a serious way.
Cheese is a way to make milk digestible for the lactose intolerant (most non-northern hemisphere adults) and to preserve it as a food source.

Funny comment. You may be right.

What I want to know is: Who in their right mind would want to be an ancient poop inspector?

How can you tell it’s a piece of poo?
Looks like somebody made raisin bran bars last year and left them to dry out.

Beer and blue cheese! I’ll bet they had some interesting campfire gatherings ala Blazzing Saddles.

“Beer is the basis of civilization. It’s what makes people settle down and grow cereal grains in a serious way.”

Ancient brewing was my thesis in Junior College. I think they were expecting something else but I got an A.
