Archeosite and Museum in Aubechies
open sky archaeological park
from neolithic to the gallo-roman period

Various kinds of cereals were used as early as the Ancient Neolithic: starch plant (Triticum dicoccum), engrain (Triticum monococcum), barley (hordeum vulgare), wheat (triticum aestivum) and spelt (Triticum spelta). The first archaeological breads discovered in France (Charavines, Isère) looked like thick pancakes and were most probably baked during the Last Neolithic (round 2700 B.C.). The oldest risen dough bread in Europe dates back to 3500 B.C. and was discovered in Twann, Lake of Bieler, Switzerland.

The craftsmen of the Archaeological Site will show you how to make and bake unfermented pancakes as well as how to bake dough breads in the oven.
