The people who lived in House 16 [in Late Bronze Age Auvernier-Nord] must seem closest to modern archaeologists, however, for they were collectors and had 5 fossils and 2 polished stone axes from the by then remote Neolithic period.

Oh, I love that so much. Were they prehistoric geeks?

I wish the book said what kinds of fossils. Or anything more, really.
