Scientists have found the grapes, which 3000 years.
During the excavations near the city of Rodbyhavn in the sediments at the bottom of an ancient well archaeobotanic could see a tiny fragment of organic origin and to recognize him as grape seed.
“When I was informed that the sample sediments from the bottom of the well, and in the upper layer, found grape seed, my first thought was “well, she must be modern.” At first I wasn’t even going to give permission for Dating,” — says the curator of the Museum Lolland-Falster Bjornar Can.
But the author finds archaeobotanist Mette Marie Halde (Mette Marie Hald) from the National Museum of Denmark, made a compelling argument: the grape from which “dropped” the bone, not modern and not ancient, and much older.
The resolution for analysis was obtained, it spent itself and Mette Marie Halde. Upon completion of the research it became clear that this microscopic not understand that — the most ancient grapes of Denmark.
Excavations continue on Lolland, grape bone still waiting for in-depth laboratory studies, the results of which scientists are likely to publish.
