[ link to www.scotsman.com (secure)] Mysteries of the 2,500-year-old butter found at the bottom of a loch
It fell to the bottom of a loch 2,500 years ago - its story long untold as it remained hidden by the deep, dark waters.
He said: “Because of the fantastic anaerobic conditions, where there is very light, oxygen or bacteria to break down anything organic, you get this type of sealed environment.
“When they started excavating, they pulled out this square wooden dish, well around three quarters of a square wooden dish, which had these really nice chisel marks on the sides as well as this grey stuff.”
Liped analysis on this matter found that it was dairy material, with experts believing it likely originated from a cow.
Holes in the bottom of the wooden dish further suggest that it was used for the buttering process.Lol
