An elderly man weighs water chestnuts after extracting them from Wular lake, on January 05, 2018 in Narbal, north of Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian Administered Kashmir, India. Water chestnuts are a major crop for people living near Wular lake , Asia's second largest freshwater lake. Wular, looks more like a flat marshy plain than a large lake in winters, as the water level recedes entire families collect and extract the marble-sized fruit from its spiky casing . The sun-dried chestnuts are later sold in markets, particularly in summer capital city Srinagar, and are consumed raw or roasted and even ground into a flour which locals say has medicinal properties. Its flour is consumed mostly by the people living around the lake. Now it is also in demand for its anti-diabetic properties, and is used by diabetic patients, because it is free of both cholesterol and fat. Some researchers are even investigating whether the fruit has cancer-fighting properties. Six kilograms of the processed stuff, dealers said, is sold at $4.74 (300 INR), and rates go up as the winter progresses. The shells of the chestnuts do not go waste and are used as cooking fuel. The women take care to store them separately, to later use them as fuel in kangris, an earthenware container with an outer encasement of wickerwork, filled with burning coal and normally carried under the clothing for heat in winter months.

Daulat 55, laced with protective rubber all over her fingers shows the kernels after moving a special knife tactfully over the chestnuts, say the work damages their skin, as extracting water chestnut from the needled shells is a prickly business, she says it is difficult to understand the pain that is suffered in making this thorny fruit edible and has been doing the job since her childhood, on January 05, 2018 in Narbal, north of Srinagar, the summer capital of Indian Administered Kashmir, India.

A drone view of a mound where a prehistoric settlement and the first European processed gold was discovered in September near the town of Provadia, Varna region, some 450 km from the capital Sofia, 19, November, Thursday. The first European processed gold was found in this settlement near Provadia, Varna region. It is at least 6,300 years old and has been discovered by archaeologists excavating of a pre historic salt extracting center in the town, the Solnitsata (i.e. The Salt Pit), which has been dubbed Europe's oldest prehistoric town, located near the northeastern Bulgarian town of Provadia. The sophisticated gold jewel has been found by the team of archaeologist Prof. Vasil Nikolov from the National Institute and Museum of Archaeology. The gold jewel from the Solnitsata weighs about 2 grams, and appears to be made of 23 24 carat gold. It is unclear whether the gold jewel found near Bulgaria's Provadiya was worn by a woman or by a man, in order to signify his high social status. This is the first time we have found gold here. But we also have hundreds of other new finds, says Prof. Nikolov. The necropolis of the The Salt Pit prehistoric town is dated to around 4,300 BC, i.e. the Late Chalcolithic Period, but Nikolov believes the gold could be 200-300 years older.
