Archaeology is always interesting, but the conclusions we can reach about the LIFE led by those who left us its artifacts are the fascniating part. I always have been a sucker for backstory.
In which the Brits were eating olives before the Romans were thought to have brought those treats up the Isles' way ... and a few more odd points of canine archaeology, as well.
