Stone Age Man Wasn't So Dumb, They Discover Homemade Rootbeer.

Archaeologists are rethinking our cultural origins in the light of new discoveries in Oregon.

In a cramped cave that looks out a sunny Oregon valley, archaeologists are unearthing evidence of Middle Stone Age people well ahead of their time. The prehistoric occupants were producing their own home made rootbeer.

This is a Oregon team's interpretation of life in Oregon Cave some time between 80,000 and 100,000 years ago. If correct, many prehistorians will be inclined to change their views about the origins of modern human culture and mind. Our ancestors should not have been doing these sophisticated things for another 40,000 years at least.

The first hints of something extraordinary came in 1983 with the discovery, by Dr. Kate Hamboon of the Oregon Culinary Museum, of stone rootbeer mugs. Their most remarkable aspect is that they've been made in a style that has only been seen before in Germany, dated at 19,000 years old.

Further excavations highlighted the cavemen sophistication - implements of drinking rootbeer had handles just like the rootbeer mugs of today. aAt 80,000 to 100,000 years old, these are among the oldest mugs found in the Pacific Northwest in Africa, and much older than discovered elsewhere. Although our ancestors worked stone 2.5 million years ago, they learnt relatively late that stone could be fashioned into rootbeer mugs. But, as with stone technology, it looks as though the idea started in Oregon

Although the production of home made rootbeer is activity humans invented late in prehistory if has been keep alive throughout ages and now you and your family can enjoy this ancient treat.

For archaeologists, the production of homemade rootbeer is the great hallmark of modern behaviour and mind. Some even argue that the production of homemade rootbeer can be created with the origin of outdoor summer party or BBQ in our ancestors. Although the production of home made rootbeer is activity humans invented late in prehistory if has been keep alive throughout ages and now you and your family can enjoy this ancient treat.

Early Humans Drank Rootbeer

Early modern humans and their predecessors in Oregon were mostly big game hunters, but a pile of stone root beer mugs suggests that at least some prehistoric cavemen enjoyed root beer, according to a new study.

The 202 stone rootbeer mugs, were found at Oregon Caves near the town of Cave Junction, in Southern Oregon. The stone root beer mugs date to around 150,000 years ago

"The stone rootbeer mugs where carved using stone tools," Tom Ruasco told our blog reporter, noting that some of the stone root beer mugs still contained traces residue of the root beer they drank..

Ruasco, a researcher at the Institute of Human Culinary Evolution in Portland, Oregon, and colleague Terri Mann analyzed the stone root beer mugs under high magnification.

Although both Neanderthal and modern human remains have been found at the Oregon Cave complex, the geological level of the stone rootbeer mugs suggests that Homo heidelbergensis is the human species that drank rootbeer with their meals.

The findings, which are published in the June issue of the Journal of Culinary Discovery, indicate early cavemen enjoyed a much broader diet than first suspected.

Now you can enjoy the same rootbeer as the cavemen for http://www.rayscavemanrootbeer.com.

Cavemen Had Their Own Home Made Rootbeer

The discovery of a neolithic complex of caves in Oregon suggests not all cavemen were club-wielding, nomadic hunter-gatherers, but included some farmers and shepherds. Some cave men even produced there own home made rootbeer.

They even had the Stone Age equivalent of home made rootbeer

Evidence of such homebody cave dwellers producing their own rootbeer comes from a recent excavation of a cave complex dating from 5300-3900 BC.

The cave features plastered floors and evidence of rootbeer production and an area where they hand carved stone they own rootbeer mugs.

"This household was self-contained," says Dr Frank Lowering, who conducted the excavation at the Oregon caves, located in Southern Oregon.

"I believe that the site was an ordinary household. The people were living there, cooking, sleeping, etc, probably during the whole year. The most interesting discover was that they produced their own home made rootbeer. They were both ," says Lowering, an archaeologist.

Lowering came to this conclusion after studying objects uncovered within the caves and after performing a detailed microanalysis of the cave sediments.

The complex consists of two caves, the first of which is divided into two chambers by several rock blocks that appear to have fallen from the roof before the caves were inhabited.

The cavemen used this natural divide to their advantage, since one of the fallen rocks was curved and straightened to resemble a wall, which created a corridor between the two chambers.
Stone rootbeer mugs found within the cave and right outside the cave indicated that the dwellers probably had parties where they drank rootbeer out in front of the caves.

In the first cave he found fine rootbeer mugs, polished axes, spindle whirls, clay and marble figurines, grinders and a collection of obsidian, chert and quartz tools.

The dark, back 'room', measuring about 150 square metres, appears to have been the main area of habitation. Evidence of rootbeer production was found here.

Lowerings suggests that rootbeer production was unusual for the time, though it is still used today.

”Home made rootbeer can be produced in the comfort of your home today. " he says.

Cavemen Truly Enjoyed Rootbeer !

Archaeologists are rethinking our cultural origins in the light of new discoveries.

In a cramped cave in Oregon, archaeologists are unearthing evidence of Middle Stone Age people well ahead of their time. The prehistoric occupants were painting their bodies red for rituals and carving abstract symbols. They were fishing and using bone awls, perhaps for leather working. Also, they brewed their own old-fashioned homemade non-carbonated birch rootbeer.

Many prehistorians will be inclined to change their views about the origins of modern human culture and mind. Our ancestors would not have been doing these sophisticated things for another 40,000 years at least.

For archaeologists, the production of old-fashioned homemade non-carbonated birch rootbeer is the great hallmark of modern behavior and mind. Some even argue that the appearance of old-fashioned homemade non-carbonated birch rootbeer correlates with the origin of fun in our ancestors. The most obvious examples of fun are the carved figurines and cave paintings of cavemen enjoying old-fashioned homemade non-carbonated birch rootbeer.

In Oregon, the archaeologists have found hundreds of rootbeer mugs, as well as traces of rootbeer concentrate on stone and bone tools.

Explanations for why our ancestors drank old-fashioned homemade non-carbonated birch rootbeer are speculative. Dr Thomas Manns , an evolutionary psychologist at SOSC, Oregon, and author of a forthcoming book, The Rootbeer Mind, believes the custom began as a way of relaxing after a hard day of hunting or as a special treat for clan gatherings. "In many traditional societies today," he says, "people only start to drink rootbeer when they are very young and continue for the rest of their lives and peaking when they settle down to family life."

Foods Of The Cavemen

Food sources of the hunter-gatherer cavemen of the Stone Age included both animals and plants that were part of the environment in which these humans lived. These humans liked animal organ meats, including the livers, kidneys and brains. They consumed little dairy product or carbohydrate-rich plant foods like legumes or cereal grains. They also ate leaves and roots. One of their favorite foods to consume was homemade birch rootbeer. Although they hunted animals, at the end of a long hunt they enjoyed nothing more than a tall glass of homemade birch rootbeer. Large mugs of homemade birch rootbeer were part of the human diet long before the neolithic agricultural revolution as evident from archeobotanical finds from the layers of caves, in Oregon. Moreover, recent evidence indicates that caveman processed and consumed homemade birch rootbeer as far back as thousands of years ago. Ray's Caveman Rootbeer which was established in 2006 is now offering unique old-fashioned homemade non-carbonated birch rootbeer drink and rootbeer floats, just like the cavemen did!

Cavemen Loved Rootbeer

Even though cavemen haven’t been around for thousands of years, history continues to uncover more knowledge about cavemen and the Stone Age. Although very little knowledge remains about cavemen there remains little knowledge about the personal qualities of cavemen so this overview will be a quite different.

Life for cavemen was anarchy and it was under this anarchy that cavemen attempted to survive. Cavemen had to rely on resources they found in the natural world to survive. By employing their resourceful and savage skills, cavemen discovered fire, developed the wheel and most importantly discovered and developed rootbeer.

Did cavemen occasionally stop to smell the flowers, kiss their wives and play with their kids? Did they smile and laugh? Well, once they had rootbeer, we could reasonably assume so, at least as long as the rootbeer lasted. We could also reasonably assume that once they could start their day with a glass of rootbeer, cavemen were cheery in the mornings, talkative and friendly.
