Archaeologists find 5,000-year-old tavern -- including food remains

The pub was split into an open-air dining area and a room with benches, an oven, ancient food remains and even a fridge.

Mattand Daisy I have been engaged in farming for over 50 years. My Grandparents ranching since the late 1800’s. I have seen and have soil tested for moisture. Researched crops to survive in changing climate. Crops were planted first 2 wks of May, if no snow. June always had one to two weeks of continual rain, but no severe storms. July was drying. August was harvest weather. Sept at least one week of soaking rain. November snow always fell before Thanksgiving. But trying to educate you would be a waste of my time. Storms are violent today and gentle soaking rains no longer happen.


KM Maley their lack of discussion on the use of a tavern/pub probably had something to do with the fact that they weren't writing with the intention of explaining sociological changes to the whole experience of a tavern between then and now. Every public article of note on this discovery will refer to the finding by what the field uses, which is often using the name the people of the time would've used. We don't call the Parthenon the church of the gods every time we say it, because that's not it's name even if that's a decent surface comparison.

Basically, they use the given name of the time, not just what is close enough, because it doesn't always reflect the experience to force modern meaning on it.
