Brainz!

I guess the ancient British zombies overlooked this one in their haste.

An incredible freak of soft tissue preservation.

Can you believe they found an 8000 year old brain somewhere?

I saw that! The Florida swamps preserved the stomach contents as well!

Very, very interesting... yet I can't help but be skeptical of their dating methods considering no other soft tissue survived. *ponders*

Bone can still give you a carbon signature, therefore it can be carbon dated. They're probably basing the date on that and the date of the surrounding artifacts, et al.

True, and unlike other half-lives, carbon is pretty reliable. Still weird.

That is very cool. And very odd. *g*
