One of which was almost certainly a topless bar...
Now that is weird. How did that happen? Was the village raided and people were decapitated? Why would the survivors burying the decapitated deceased put the heads at their feet?
If the invaders / raiders buried the victims, they wouldn't have been careful about where to place the heads. They would have just tossed all the remains into graves.
There are so many mysteries created by these discoveries.
Once again, thanks for posting these articles, SC. These aren't something I would find on my own.
"A Roman kiln and a large number of quern and millstones."All those people who hate capitalism should think about what life was like without it.The word "quern" is a new one to me, so I looked it up. It's a primitive mill made from soft stone (like sandstone) for grinding grain. A hole made all the way through the stone. At the top of this stone, a sloping depression (convex) all round leading to the hole would be made.
A top “hat”, also of stone, with a concave bottom that somewhat matched inversely the depression in the main stone so that the two fit together, had a hole in it, with a wooden handle attached. Querns could be more or less primitive, depending on the skill of the craftsman and the tools available to him in his area and in his time.
You put the top on, put a small amount of grain in through the hole in the top, and turned the top using the wooden handle. The main, bottom stone stayed stationary, only the top one turned. This would grind the grain between the two rocks, and the meal would come out the bottom of the main stone.
You needed hours to produce a decent amount of flour. If you had 12 people in your family, someone would have to take up to 4 hours grinding enough flour or meal to make bread for them for that day alone.
Much fine stone dust came out with the meal and flour. This stone dust, we know from skeletons, quickly wore down the enamel on teeth, leading inevitably to dental pain.
How many found were ancient transgenders? 🤔🙄
Tourists.
Bet they had tee shirts that said “I lost my head in Wintringham!”
the Apostle Paul was beheaded
Roman Christians were beheaded as it was considered more merciful
compared to non Roman Christians who were burned alive, fed to lions, crucified....
Rome was at war with Christianity
