In 2018, a team of researchers from the University of Copenhagen, the 
University College London, and the University of Cambridge released a 
paper in the "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences" detailing 
their discovery of 14,400-year-old crumbs from a flatbread. The 
archaeological site, known as Shubayqa 1, is located in the Black Desert 
of northeastern Jordan and was home to Natufian hunter-gatherers. The 
flatbread remains are not only the oldest instance of bread found to 
date, but also preeminent examples of how bread-making existed even 
before agriculture developed some 4,000 years later.
