Scientists Assert That This Was The Cause Of The Byzantine Empire’s Demise – And That People Today Should Be Alarmed

In total, four trash heaps were investigated, each containing interesting waste. There was pottery, coins, and glassware discovered, among other things. Seeds surfaced, as well, including the charred remains of grapes cultivated in the area. This fruit could have been used to make wine that was sold as far as France and the United Kingdom.

When it comes to transportation, some of the foods found in the trash mounds appeared to have been transported from the Nile and the Red Sea. That suggests they were most likely pricey and in high demand among locals. Overall, radiocarbon dating suggests that the rubbish was created rather early in Elusa’s history.
