Day 1: A group of archaeologists digging around in Yorkshire in 2021 came across what they believe to be Britain’s oldest salt-making site from the Neolithic era or about about 10,000 BCE. I know what’s so special about salt to feature on today’s list, right? But back then, it was a huge deal. Salt wasn’t just for flavor; it was essential for keeping food from spoiling and was valuable enough to trade. And this wasn’t some small-time setup either; they found ancient pits and hearths where people were boiling down saltwater in what looks like an early industrial operation! The team from the University of York was blown away. Their discovery shows that these early Britons weren’t just roaming around, hunting and gathering. They were organized, skilled at production, and likely trading with nearby communities. It completely changes how we see prehistoric Britain – more advanced and connected than we ever thought https://warpcast.com/harukaa/0xf30ab209
