2,000-year-old pistachio nut discovered at bottom of ancient well in England
Its shell was broken open so it could be identified as a pistachio.
"It was not possible to tell if the nut had been imported from southern Iberia, the north African coast, Greece or the Near East. Staff from Northern Archaeological Associates have spent the past three years investigating the collection of items found at the site.There are more than 62,000 objects in total, and the excavations also showed up 2.8 tonnes of animal bone and 2.5 tonnes of pottery - which the NAA said give an insight into the civilian and military population of the area at the time.
