Ruminate on this!

We discovered a sealed burial cave from 4,000 years ago.
While sifting the earth that we dug out of the cave, something popped up in the sifting screen. . .

. . . something which immediately caused me to think of Louis la Vache.

Quelle chance--a cow's tooth from one of his Bronze Age ancestors!

  1. Louis probably wants it extradited! :) Good one! Cheers, Klaus

  2. Stories from the past always intrigue me. So what are in those buckets, Dina?

  6. Hmmmm. That IS a fascinating find! Your job sounds really wonderful, although I imagine there must be many ordinary moments between each find.

  9. Cows have very odd looking teeth! I've never seen a cow tooth before.

  10. I suppose you'll have that tooth analysed? Should yield some interesting results.

  11. Feeling very fortunate to be sort of 'onsite' with you on your dig. Thanks Dina for including us!
    Probably the closest I'll get in this lifetime.

    I haven't been able to wear all the hats I have wanted, sometimes life seems so long, other times, so short, certainly never long enough to be in all the incredible places there are in the world doing some of what is incredible there to do. I think archeology would fill a bill in that respect, like a travel back in time.

  12. So Loius is getting in touch with his
    ancestors now is he. I do think he suffers from mad cow disease. Lets hope his ancestors didn't. Excellent choice today.

  13. Dina, this is fascinating. I enjoy any bit you tell us about your dig. It's a thrill to be along with you.

    Jerez, you put it so beautifully. It would be nice to wear more hats in this life.
