Scientists said Friday that the mass of <SPAN id="lw_1229124958_0" class="yshortcuts">gray matter</SPAN> was more than 2,000 years old — the oldest ever discovered in Britain. One expert unconnected with the find called it "a real freak of preservation."</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081212/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_ancient_brain">The skull was severed from its owner sometime before the Roman invasion of Britain and found in a muddy pit during a dig at the <SPAN id="lw_1229124958_1" class="yshortcuts">University of York</SPAN> in <SPAN id="lw_1229124958_2" class="yshortcuts">northern England</SPAN> this fall, according to Richard Hall, a director of <SPAN id="lw_1229124958_3" class="yshortcuts">York Archaeological Trust</SPAN>.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081212/ap_on_re_eu/eu_britain_ancient_brain">Finds officer Rachel Cubbitt realized the skull might contain a brain when she felt something move inside the <SPAN id="lw_1229124958_4" class="yshortcuts">cranium</SPAN> as she was cleaning it, Hall said. She looked through the skull's base and spotted an unusual yellow substance inside.
