Neolithic chewing gum found in Finland



An archaeology student from the University of Derby has found this 5000-year-old piece of chewing gum, complete with tooth imprints. The gum came from birch-bark, and may have been used either as an anti-septic or as glue for sticking together pots. Link

Big deal. The piece I'm chewing right now is older. Got it in a pack of baseball trading cards.
