About

Archaeology or archeology[a] is the study of human activity through the recovery and analysis of material culture. The archaeological record consists of artifacts, architecture, biofacts or ecofacts, sites, and cultural landscapes.

Archaeology has various goals, which range from understanding culture history to reconstructing past lifeways to documenting and explaining changes in human societies through time.

The discipline involves surveying, excavation, and eventually analysis of data collected, to learn more about the past. In broad scope, archaeology relies on cross-disciplinary research. Read more...

Super cool! I wish they would explain how they realized it was popcorn specifically though. Not that I doubt their conclusion, I am just curious. To me, that picture looks like, well, weed, but also like normal corn-on-the-cob. Is popcorn-on-the-cob a thing?

I can't speak to any science but I have had popcorn on the cob. It's fine but there's a reason it's not as popular.

[โ€“] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Yes, but when you pop it on the cob, it all goes flying off

They discovered an ancient movie theater right next to it.
