Down on the Farm, 10 000 Years Ago
This Catalyst article looks at how people lived in the past, archaeologists look at the items (artefacts) these cultures left behind. Using chemical analysis of residues in the artefacts an enormous amount of additional information can be gleaned. This article investigates early dairy farming. Analysis of tiny residues of fats found in ancient pots allows archaeologists to determine which animals were being raised in the Neolithic period.
