This is the biggest find since a man working on the land where Woodstock was held found an old Boone’s Farm booze bottle left behind August 19, 1969 in Bethel, New York.
Also historic.

The upper, square-shaped basins were used by people to press grapes underfoot, extracting the juice which ran off into the lower circular basins.Doesn't look like a very good factory site, but I guess using impervious rocks and the built-in slope on the hill was practical.
