Archaeologists have found pieces of grains, seeds and charred food during excavations in the ancient city of Zeugma, in the southeastern province of Gaziantep. The discovered ancient food residuals are expected to shed more light on the gastronomic history of Gaziantep.
“We have found charred food leftovers, left in kitchens when Zeugma was invaded by the Sassanian Empire in 252, 253 A.D. We are analyzing these. Gaziantep is a gastronomy capital,” Prof. Kutalmış Gökay, the head of the excavation team, told state-run Anadolu Agency.
