中国考古学家在江苏常州一座具有2500年历史的古墓中发现一罐鸡蛋。
 
 
According to a report by jschina.com.cn, the eggs were found in a clay pot along with other pottery1 containers, cookers and plates in a mound2 tomb in Shangyang Village.
 
Different from similar excavations3 earlier, the eggs unearthed4 this time were clearly separated from each other, making them easier for experts to clean, according to Lin Liugen, head of the Institute of Archaeology5 Nanjing Museum.
 
The pot of eggs will now be put in a cabinet with a stable temperature and humidity for further study.
 
It is not clear at present if the eggs were from domestic chickens or pheasants.
 
Archaeologists noted6 that cereal products could have been contained in other potteries7 but they perished over time.
