Discovery of bread dating back 4 years before agriculture
In a desert in Jordan, researchers report the discovery of bread remains dating back 14 years, or 400 years before agriculture. This suggests that it was the bread-making process that spurred the cultivation of grain and therefore the start of the agricultural revolution.
At an archaeological site in northeast Jordan, researchers have discovered the charred remains of bread baked by hunter-gatherers 14 years ago. It is the oldest direct proof of the bread found to date, preceding the advent of agriculture by at least 400 years. The results suggest that the production of bread made from wild cereals may have encouraged hunter-gatherers to cultivate cereals, thus contributing to the agricultural revolution in the Neolithic.
