The Mesolithic period is known as the middle stone age. Stone Age people cut up their food with sharpened stones and cooked it on a fire. After a good day’s hunting people could feast on meat.

Sifting through the soil of southern Germany, archaeologists unearthed piles of charred remains and a worn-out stone. The mundane-looking finds turned out to be traces of a 2,800-year-old bakery.
