When out in the mountains or in natural areas, it is common to throw the
cores and stones of the fruit we eat on the ground, assuming that they
will simply biodegrade. And this is true more often than not. However,
if a series of highly specific environmental conditions are met, it is
possible for this organic matter to be preserved for hundreds of years.
One of the tasks of archaeologists and archaeobotanists of the Arkeolan
Foundation is to search for and study these materials in order to learn
about the diet, clothing and utensils of our ancestors.
