Shubayqa, Jordan. The first loaf of bread in history. It was made by the Natufians, with flour, water, and a pinch of yeast. It resembles modern-day Arab bread: a flat, stackable loaf, slightly burnt, but nutritious. It would be studied 14,000 years later by researchers from the Universities of Copenhagen, London, and Cambridge. In total, 642 fragments of food (at least 24 of which are bread) were found, along with many others from hearths and charcoal.
