Excellent news, but it didn't take long before the stututary religeous connection was mentioned!!

'I don't think we're looking at a normal house. I think we're looking at something equivalent to a priest's quarters.'


"I don't think we're looking at a normal house. I think we're looking at something equivalent to a priest's quarters."

Well only priests washed themselves and cared for their homes in those days i expect, i guess the rest of the neolithic people were right tramps, well how could they not be, bothering stones all day, defleshing their relatives, hunting large game, no time for cleanliness.
Busy busy. ; )

plus, what archaeo worth his salt would find a "normal" house.
Pftttttttt. !
