Personally I think it’s kinda neat to try and recreate food that he might’ve eaten 5k+ years ago but I also like digging around in the dirt for old stuff and trying to figure out how people lived
I haven’t worked with any archaeologists, but I have worked with a few geologists, and all of them would bring in their favorite rocks and lick them every once and a while.
You can lick test stuff in archaeology as a quick and dirty way to identify bone vs stone but it’s definitely not recommended nowadays, geologists get all the rock licking fun

If you can feel the grains in your mouth, it’s silt. If you can’t, it’s clay.
