Having watched “Oak Island” from the start I have appreciated the testing technology advances they have been using.

Analysis of Bronze Age daggers has shown that they were used for processing animal carcasses and not as non-functional symbols of identity and status, as previously thought...

Archeologists are so out of touch with reality.

They just completely miss the practical aspect of why ancients did what they did.

Wow. Bronze knives were used as knives. Who would have thought it?

Even in very warrior tribes, a lot more animals will be processed than Humans killed in battle.

Oh for crying out loud! Did anyone actually think those daggers were always ceremonial? I’m really worried about humanity in this day and time.

I’m going to guess that daggers were for stabbing things.
