01 约旦发现世界上最古老的面包
Step 1读一读

The burned remains of bread made about 14,500 years ago in northeastern Jordan have given scientists a surprise: hum

ans started making bread long before they developed agriculture. The bread was found in a stone fireplace at an ancient

site in Jordans Black Desert. It is the oldest bread ever found.

Researchers said this week that the discovery shows that hunter-gatherers in the Eastern Mediterranean learned to make

bread more than 4,000 years before farming began. That is much earlier than scientists had thought.

The bread was made from wild cereals like barley and oats, as well as tubers. It was made by a group of people called

the Natufians. At the time, they had started to change from a nomadic way of life to one in which they stayed in one place.

Amaia Arranz-Otaegui was a lead writer and researcher of the study. She is a postdoctoral researcher at the University

of Copenhagen in Denmark. She called the bread discovery exceptional.

Arranz-Otaegui said scientists must now consider whether there was a relationship between bread production and the

beginning of agriculture. She added that the desire for bread may have led nomadic people to start growing food and staying

in one area.She also said the researchers have begun the process of trying to reproduce the prehistoric bread.

The bread might not have been very tasty, Arranz-Otaegui said. She described the taste of the tubers used for the flour

as Quite gritty and salty. But it is a bit sweet as well.

The next oldest bread ever discovered was found in Turkey. It was over 9,000 years old.
