Mission Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Jennie Gist posted a link to a really interesting article on a pirate encampment that archeologists are excavating in Belize from the early 18th century. The article contains a lot of supposition, but I guess that's about the best we can do when looking at the remains of the refuse from such a site. You can check out the article here. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jendobyns Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Well that was interesting. Lots of food for thought, fodder for discussion. I totally agree, there is lots of supposition. A preponderance of bowls could also mean a crate of delftware brought back as booty was full of broken pieces. A lot depends on context, and I have enough questions after that article to make a post tedious. I guess we can look forward to an explosion of pirates running around with delftware and chinese porcelain bowls and pipes now, eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
