Roll up, roll up for chance to eat 3,000 year-old bread

Food consumed by Iron Age people is being brought back to life following a UCC-led project. A team of international archaeologists unearthed evidence of food grown and cooked in Ireland nearly 3,000 years ago.

The findings were from animal bones and seeds found in investigations, conducted in the south-east of the country.

However, in an experimental reconstructions of Iron Age cuisine, the public will be able to see the results of ancient bread- and butter-making techniques and taste the end product at a special exhibition at Cork Public Museum in Fitzgerald Park on Saturday next.
