Uncovering archaeological evidence for brewing: three large clay cylindrical ovens in mud brick casings. Each division on the scale is 25cm. These ovens line one wall of a chamber which is part of a temple kitchen complex at the site of Amarna. Burnt grain and chaff were recovered from the floors of similar chambers. This evidence, together with distinctive pottery vessels, suggests that beer and bread were made here. |
