建造巨石陣的古人也吃甜食？

英格蘭遺產(chǎn)委員會（ English Heritage ）發(fā)現(xiàn)，巨石陣當(dāng)年的建造者吃過甜食，包括采來的水果和堅果。

Researchers already knew that the builders of the monument, which dates back to 2,500 BC, had eaten pork, beef and dairy.

巨石陣的歷史可追溯到公元前2500年，研究人員已知當(dāng)時建造這處遺跡的人吃過豬肉、牛肉和奶制品。

But this is the first time that excavationsat Durrington Walls have shown that they also gathered and cooked hazelnuts and fruit, such as sloe berries and crabapples.

然而，德靈頓垣墻的挖掘工作第一次顯示，建造者還采集并烹制了榛子和黑刺李莓果、酸蘋果等水果。

Researchers believe that the charredplant remainssuggest recipes may have been followed. They say treats, such as an early version of the mincepie, could have been cooked using a flat stone or ceramicpot, heated in the embers of a fire.

研究人員認(rèn)為，燒焦的植物殘渣表明這些食物有可能是按照菜譜制作的。他們指出，建造者吃過一種圣誕百果餡餅的早期版本，這類甜食可能是用扁平的石頭或陶器在余燼中加熱烤制而成的。
