In case anyone was curious about the click-bait: "The new excavations bring to light exciting new information about this unique woman and her time."
It's just part of some quote and there isn't really anything exciting.

It's my sad duty to inform you of the following upsetting news...
Trigger warning!
"The wine was no longer liquid and we can’t tell if it was red or white."

Does… does wine become solid over thousands of years?
SheeEttin@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 2y
Through evaporation, yes, the solids in the wine would be left as a residue.

That's probably the same consistency as jelly brains
