[Sca-cooks] Early Feast Recreated

[Terry Decker]

The domed oven is of interest.  The Neolithic Period of the site is 
8,500-6,000 BCE.  That means this is one of the earliest, if not the 
earliest, domed oven known.  The earliest known bread is 5,500 BCE.  If it 
can be demonstrated that the oven was used for baking bread, that will push 
bread baking a little further into the past.

The pit oven is not quite as interesting, as the technology was at least 
20,000 years old by the earliest possible date for the site.
