The researchers hope to learn if it was a Neanderthal or a Homo sapiens who roasted the pine, through an emerging technique called sediment aDNA (ancient DNA).

I agree about the starch milling. According to my research, the oldest starch flour came from Sago Palm pith processing, from which evolved the adze, the dugout canoe and the pancake or flatbread, about 35,000 years ago. It may have followed acorn processing and ochre grinding, I don't know, but I'm sure it preceded grain stone-milling. <br /> <br />My hypothesis is that Eden legend originated at the confluence of the 4 north Black Sea rivers: Danube, Dnieper, Dniester, Donetz(Tanais per Herodotus), including DaN as down (the hatch)/descend flow/dawn (like the JorDaN River and DarDaNelles (DjareDanHelles?), so DaN.ybe, DaN.ypr, Dan.ystr, Dan.ytz. So the term eden referred to the mouth or delta (or in my view, doorway) of these 4 glacial-derived rivers.

Often this tree was taken on the night of Yule, which is 12/31 now and burned all night, as an honor to the Gods and to Thor in particular for helping bring back Sunna and light.CoCargoRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08660935913938910138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8743102750721348863.post-14795021090988856382014-12-23T07:46:05.992-08:002014-12-23T07:46:05.992-08:00They say that the Christianization of Central &...They say that the Christianization of Central & Eastern Europe began when an English monk named Wynfreth from Wessex chopped down a legendary great oak tree in Fritzlar (Hesse). The Chatten believed that God lived in the Oak tree. Wynfreth went on to defy them all by chopping it down. Allegedly his going unscathed by the Donor-Gott was so impressive, that they converted to Christianity. However... tales of his un-deed eventually made their way to Frisia were Frisians cut Wynfreth down like the great oak. Wynfreth is known today as Saint Bonifatius. And Fritzlar has a huge oak tree again. <br />http://allsherjargode.beepworld.de/files/fritzlar03.jpgAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03202932637700676213noreply@blogger.com
