An archaeological dig in western Montgomery County,Pa has revealed some interesting facts about the local Native American tribes-both Lenape and Delaware. At 10:30am on Thursday morning a young graduate assistant from the University of Pennsylvania, using a soft brush and pick ax, uncovered a small brown object about two inches in length.
"I looked and couldn't believe my eyes," said Ryan Crowley, the assistant. "It was a Chicken McNugget."
There was no difference in the chicken piece found and the pieces served today. The popular McDonald's food was given a radiocarbon dating test that placed it over 400 years old. A cave was also discovered in the area that had wall paintings depicting Native Americans dipping the chicken into small clay bowls.
"It was really like a dipping sauce. At that time the sauces may have been mostly mashed corn, beans, wild berries, or honey mustard,"said Sarah Jones, lead archaeologist of the dig.
When asked what she thought of the discovery she replied,"Ba da ba ba ba, I'm lovin' it." The magnitude of the discovery cannot be stressed enough. Following a major study at UPenn, the McNuggent will commence a 15 city, four week tour across the country.
