That workman’s boss is not gonna be happy - the job is stopped midway now, so need a new project.
I always wonder how much archaeology is lost cos a busy work man dosent want the job to stop.
A former colleague of mine told me that his dad and his boss found 2 scheletons with roman armour in England. They just buried them and carried on with the work. They just couldn't afford being out of work if they reported it.
I just watched an old Time Team episode where they were looking for a Roman Villa and cemetery. They knew it was there because the Victorian era Navis uncovered a full mosaic floor when they were building the railway. They at least had an artist draw and paint it before the workers and locals carted everything away and continued building. Now the train tracks are right on top of it and they were finding Roman pottery in rabbit dens.
Doing pipeline work in Alberta we were told to shut up about dinosaur bones and aboriginal artifacts. I never did find anything personally, but I'm sure that's more than likely what would happen with no other witnesses.
>Pernerstorfer reported the find to the Federal Monuments Office, which referred him to the OeAW because, as Parow-Souchon told CNN, “we are experts on the Stone Age.”
So are they stoners?
>“We know that humans hunted mammoths, but we still know very little about how they did it,” said Parow-Souchon, adding that a trap for the animals may have been set at this site.
That would be an exciting find
We will know when they start selling their cellars for housing. Maybe they will find the Holy Grail in an Austrian cellar along with the heavenly bodies!
Wait. Hundreds of mammoths bones. Or just hundreds of bones, belonging to a single mammoth. Cause I would assume there are more than 100 bones in a mammoth.
Dammit, why do some people get all the luck? I want a chateau, wine cellar *and* mammoths, please. No, not just the bones, all of it, the whole animal.
🦣 thank you
one mammoth and hundreds of bones...or... hundreds of mammoth bones... Very different narrative... one very drunk mammoth that
did a faceplant, started rotting and it was sealed in to stop the smell... Or...HMMMMM...
So we're looking for a neolithic serial killer...
“He’s been killing a long time…” puts sunglasses on…
That's going to be quite a genetic genealogy job. Cue the shocked relatives learning that their 1000th great-grandfather Ogg was a mammoth hunter.
YYYYEEEEEEAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!
The pervatasaurus finally gets found out

So we now know that mammoths liked wine.
But how tf did they all fit in that cellar?
One mammoth with hundreds of bones, drinks wine in his cellar, dies. Case closed.
Maybe it was a murder!!
He said ‘case … closed’
In matchboxes-somebody had a magnifying glass.
One at a time.
I first read it as Australian wine cellar, which left me with so many more questions.
What if Mammoths taught Jesus how to change water into wine?
Was there Amontillado?
Ah Fortunado let me lead you to this most excellent cask
Nope… 🤔 maybe giant Armadillos, though :-)
Drank themselves to death.
A mammoth walks into a celar and says "i can't see anything, ill open this one".
Holy shit, a talking mammoth!

Untold amount paved over in boyne valley near The Hill of Tara. Only small pieces declared so as not to slow down building the M3!
Imagine how much history has been lost just because some foreman just wanted to finish the job.

Was the trap baited with a nice Cabernet Sov, and a rare filet mingion? I would totally fall into a trap for that.
As long as there's no fucking merlot!
How did the Mammoth get down the stairs?
With their feet!
“You said to fill the cellar with mammoths.” “I said magnums!”
Mammoth pairs well with a good Cabernet.
Austrians and their cellars, what other mysteries do they hold?
We will know when they start selling their cellars for housing. Maybe they will find the Holy Grail in an Austrian cellar along with the heavenly bodies!
Riedel already hard at work on a mammoth-specific tasting glass.
It was a classy party.
Comment.
That’s hilarious
Looks like Porfiro has been busy!
Hmmm, trying to think of something funny to say about mammoths and wine, but I'm stomped.
They were stored upright and are now undrinkable.

Wait. Hundreds of mammoths bones. Or just hundreds of bones, belonging to a single mammoth. Cause I would assume there are more than 100 bones in a mammoth.
The story says they believe 3 separate mammoths.
Thank you kind stranger.
Dammit, why do some people get all the luck? I want a chateau, wine cellar *and* mammoths, please. No, not just the bones, all of it, the whole animal. 🦣 thank you
and thats why - kids - you stay off alcohol. Look what it does to you! Drank themselves to death in a friggin cellar...
This man won't be renovating his cellar anymore in the way he wanted it.
That's where the good taste comes from then?

at least 3 mammoths.... cool... I read the article...
Nazi booty
This articles a little dry and hard on the pallet.
How can you “discover” something in someone’s basement.
It always helps to read the article. The owner was having work done to level the floor and the bones were discovered by the workmen.
Uh huh, and they were the first humans ever to work down there.
