近日，土耳其考古學家在中部庫魯歐巴遺址發掘出一塊距今約5000年的碳化面包，并與當地面包坊合作，成功復刻這款青銅時代古法面包，引發民眾搶購熱潮。

Archaeologists recently unveiled a rare culinary find: a well-preserved loaf of ancient bread.

The artifact was found during an archaeological excavation at the Kulluoba site in the Eskisehir province, located in central Turkiye.

這塊直徑約12厘米、形似松餅的圓形面包出土于埃斯基謝希爾附近。考古人員于2024年9月出土了這塊面包，但直到今年5月才向公眾展示。

Round and flat like a pancake, 12 centimeters in diameter, the bread was discovered during excavations at Kulluoba, a site near the central Anatolian city of Eskisehir. Excavators unearthed the loaf in September 2024, but it wasn't unveiled to the public until May 2025.

考古項目負責人圖爾克泰基表示：“這是目前考古發現中保存最完整的古代烘烤面包之一。”

"This is the oldest baked bread to have come to light during an excavation, and it has largely been able to preserve its shape," said Murat Turkteki, archaeologist and director of the excavation.

他指出，以往考古發現多為面包碎屑，而此次的完整樣本得益于面包被燒焦后埋藏于公元前3300年一座新建房屋的門檻下方，推測可能與古代祈求豐收的儀式有關。

"Bread is a rare find during an excavation. Usually, you only find crumbs," he told AFP. "But here, it was preserved because it had been burnt and buried," he said.

The bread was charred and buried under the entrance of a dwelling built around 3300 BC. A piece had been torn off, before the bread was burnt, then buried when the house was built. "It makes us think of a ritual of abundance," Turkteki said.

埃斯基謝希爾市市長艾謝·云呂杰表示：“我們被這一發現深深觸動。在與我們的考古項目負責人交談時，我萌生了復刻這種面包的想法。”

"We were very moved by this discovery. Talking to our excavation director, I wondered if we could reproduce this bread," said the city's mayor, Ayse Unluce.

平價面包坊“人民面包”與考古團隊合作，復原這款史前面包，一經上市迅速售罄。

目前，該店每日限量手工制作300個“庫魯歐巴面包”（Kulluoba loaves），每個面包重約300克，售價50里拉（約合人民幣10元）。

顧客蘇珊·庫魯表示：“我特意趕來購買，生怕錯過機會，非常好奇古人吃的面包是什么味道。”

"I rushed because I was afraid there wouldn't be any left. I'm curious about the taste of this ancient bread," said customer Suzan Kuru.
