Two paleo-archaeology objects tickle my fancy and as I suspect the
earlier in the list English village definition I shall go for the
mesolithic attribution : for my next trick ... the orphan koala and the
wise butler have an equal claim upon my attention -- I think the wise
butler just gets my vote

that is #2 and #15
