Contrary to the accepted view, Struever says, these Stone Age people apparently led a rather idyllic life. Food was plentiful in the lush valley, allowing them to feast on nuts and wild grains, ducks, mollusks and fish. One cooking pit, for example, contained some 22,000 fish bones of all sizes, down to skeletons of 1-in.-long minnows; apparently they were all cooked together in a giant prehistoric bouillabaisse...
