Area peeps: A home in Glen Ellen was used as a granary by acorn woodpeckers ... it didn't function as expected!
No paywall, my gift

For #RomanSiteSaturday this is #Housesteads, the more modern name for #Vercovicium, a #Roman #Fort along #HadriansWall in the north of #England. At Housesteads there is a section of the wall you're actually allowed to walk along (not that this stops people from walking along the bits you're not supposed to). This picture is of the #granary building. The pillars were to raise the floor and keep grain stored there dry.

Granaries have been used around the world to store the food people needed as populations increased. From African yams, to millet, rice, sorghum to MesoAmerican corn etc. They had to find food they could domesticate (grow and safely store) for themselves and their animals. Climate change brought this shift in culture on. What can we learn from them, if anything?
