Interesting!
IIRC, Dr. Mike Collins of TARL has attempted analysis of foodstuff traces adsorbed into the outer layer of limestone rocks that, supposedly, were used as “boiling stones” by prehistoric Texas folk. (Not sure he included DNA testing, though...) I’ll check with him to see what results he obtained...
The doctor said, "Well, for one thing, you're not eating right."

What’s going on with my post?
Thanks Renfield and Blam. This is one of the many stories getting recycled due to the Indiana Jones movie. I haven’t seen it. The only good to come out of it so far are bags of those Indy Jones mint M&Ms. Mmmmmm.
As tribute to the late George Carlin, I *won’t* post the pointer directly to my ripoff of his “500 Islands” joke.

Adam: EVE!!! You put my dress suit in the salad again!
They can take it to McDonald’s and put it on the world’s oldest salad.
I think this is the same wreck, if not, still worth another look:

Ah... that makes sense. I’ve wondered about the same thing too.
It would also lock the whole stack together, and individual jars wouldn’t knock around when the ship rolls back and forth either. I don’t know, but it would’ve been natural then that the bottom of the hold should have some sort of rack that the first layer fits into. Neat.
The other amphora probably contained vinegar to go with the oil.
Heh - you’re not posting right! :-)
