Imagine finding a really old plate that still has food on it, like ancient spaghetti or fried chicken! Scientists use special tools to look at things like bones, teeth, and even poop to figure out what people ate long ago. It's like time travel for food!
Examples
- A scientist finds a piece of bread that’s over 2000 years old!
- An archaeologist discovers ancient meat stuck between the teeth of a skeleton.
- Someone finds a plate full of chicken bones in an old kitchen.
