Subject: RE: BS: Archeological notions
Professional archeologists have to walk a straight and narrow line as Fibs implies.
The lady archeologist who claimed she found oxidized cocaine in pharoic mummies was castigated and professionally excommunicated by her peers.
Her discovery, if valid, would suggest ocean going trade since coca is not found in the old world, at least not anymore.
