I’m surprised that ancient residue yielded anything discernible or usable.

My thought exactly. Not sure cocoa plant grew in the Indus Valley though. If so....

Despite my cheech and chong wisecracks, I also am somewhat surprised by the usable material recovered.
Seems some materials are far more...durable that expected.

I can understand Mastodon/Sabre Tooth Tiger etc DNA frozen in permafrost for many thousands of years, but food residue exposed to air, is simply amazing.

Apparently it is “protected” somewhat by having been absorbed into the ceramic.
I’m eyeing my coffee mug suspiciously.
It will tell on me in the future.

Maybe that’s why the civilization died-off? Their collective gut couldn’t simply digest it.
Latest finding for Inca and Maya civilizations is that the mud they coated temples, homes, roads etc with, contained LIME, which poisoned their food growing fields, with so much rain, and they starved or left for other cities.

Maybe.
Would add something to how there are sudden mass deaths in certain indus valley cities.
A disease spreads through the populace, panic arises followed by violence, city rulers lose control.
Maybe some rivalry, “THEY cursed us” claims.
One group punishes the other for existing.
