        You are most welcome, I hope they find more complete genome rich materials from other early European sites. DNA is an amazing new door opener, if one keeps an open mind. Absolutely brilliant!

        Who would have thought to pay any attention to a manky old piece of birch tar? Looks like an old badger turd. Just think what stories the underside of a pub table or theater seat could tell?

        Could you just see Phil Harding stand up in his trench holding one of these between thumb and forefinger exclaiming " Oooohh Aaaarrrrr just lookie this badger turd!".

          That was pretty interesting.

          When I first saw the topic, it brought back images of something from my childhood. I always thought that stuff had been made, sometime during the Stone Age
