@zija2022, I think it is fascinating that a cookbook was used to help us understand the artifacts discovered, and that nobody could figure out the egg pan without the cookbook illustration to help shed light on it. Just one example of how we can misinterpret the things of the past when we don't have quite enough information. I wonder how many other times this has been done over the course of the last few hundred years? Probably more times than we will ever know.
Do you dive for your archaeological work, too? I really enjoyed reading this article, and am going to check out part 1 next.
I've upvoted and resteemed this article as one of my daily post promotions for the @mitneb Curation Trail Project. It will be featured in the @mitneb Curation Trail Project Daily Report for 06 MAR 2018.
Cheers!
@mitneb thanks for the help glad to see you like my post. It is a really old cookbook, to be honest :) and yes archaeology is a science evolving with new knowledge. For sure ideas and interpretation changes with new discoveries, archeologist try to piece together the past of humans with help of artifacts. One must bear in mind that the past is long gone and forgotten so in some cases it is difficult to elaborate. And yes a lot has been misinterpreted.
I do not dive, I am more active on land, field archaeology is more my thing :D
