‘World’s oldest bread,’ dating back 8,600 years, discovered in Turkey
Quick Glance: ‘Oldest Bread in the World’ Unearthed in Turkey
  • Archaeologists in Turkey have discovered the world’s oldest-known bread, dating back to 6600 BC.

  • A mostly destroyed oven structure was found in an area called 'Mekan 66,' where adjoining mudbrick houses are located, at the archaeological site of Çatalhöyük in the southern Turkish province of Konya.

  • Around the oven, archaeologists found wheat, barley, pea seeds, and a palm-sized, round, 'spongy' residue that was 8,600 years old and represented uncooked, fermented bread.

  • The organic matter - both wood and bread - was preserved by a thin clay that covered the structure, according to Türkcan.
