While digging a burrow, a family of rabbits inadvertently dug up prehistoric artifacts on a tiny island outside of Wales. The artifacts included a lithic (stone) artifact that is approximately 9,000 years old, as well as a shard of a bronze age burial urn approximately 3,750 years old.
This type of story makes for a fascinating read and often piques the public’s interest in archaeology.
Because the items unearthed by the rabbits in this particular circumstance were of a certain style that could be attributed to date ranges almost 5,000 years apart, it highlights the use and occupation of this tiny island spanning millennia.
