"Eating wild plants is a 'world that needs to be rediscovered' ... by CBC News (June 26, 2020)

So, what about this strange law that was on the books in 1665 in Acadie?  The following statement, "No Sun-burnt, Salt-burnt, or that have been a considerable time pickled before dried, are to be deem’d merchantable fish” may hold the answer to this question. There was the opinion at this time in history that fish which were pickled in advance of being dried were not deemed marketable or useful in the feeding of sailors.

So, a single pickle could render the lot worthless if mixed in with dried.  As a fish merchant, you wouldn't want to have a pickle placed in a container with the dried fish because if the inspectors were to find a co-mingled pickle, in with the dried, they would confiscate the lot, which would then be "seized for releife [sic] of the poor."

Question: After reading this article, I wondered what ancient hunter-gatherer would NOT trade in his bow-and-arrow for a farm in the South of France (if given the opportunity)? Bordeaux or Provence would surely prove irresistible to even the most hardened of hunter-gatherers -- and as scientists have discovered, ancient DNA research bears this out!  Latest ancient, genome-wide DNA research yields remarkably high levels of hunter-gatherer ancestry in early Neolithic western European farmers (in the South of France) as compared with central / southeastern farmers. Samples from 101 individuals, 3 Mesolithic and 98 Neolithic, from 12 sites in modern-day France and Germany, were analyzed as part of the study.  -- Marie Rundquist.  Read the article here: https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/05/200529150654.htm and reference: https://advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/22/eaaz5344
