Digesta, Roman Burials in Barcelona, and Standing Stones in France - Ep 221

This week we have 3 archaeology news articles. First, even more research points to animal digesta playing a crucial role in providing nutrition to prehistoric peoples. Once again, this also challenges the traditional idea that men were the hunters in hunter-gatherer societies. Then we head over to Barcelona were 9 Roman era burials were found below the city streets. And finally, a site with 37 standing stones has been bull dozed to make way for a hardware store in France.
