When we talk about archaeology, we don’t necessarily think about food. Anyone who is passionate about history, however, knows that there are plenty of sources that, across the centuries, detailed the evolution and recipes of the culinary world of our ancestors.

Archaeologists themselves often come across impressive discoveries related to food, not last the many bread loaves unearthed in Pompeii, where even a thermopilium, a place we could compare to a modern street food place, have been identified very recently.
