Our ancestors’ food has been preserved in very few cases; usually only waste provides information about the eating habits of the people of earlier epochs. Slaughterhouse waste can be found from all periods - the oldest traces of this in northern Germany are Paleolithic reindeer bones from the Ahrensburg tunnel valley. Finds of mussel shells, fish bones, fruit pits or charred grain also provide clues to the diet of earlier generations.

Charred Grain
Age: 100 - 200 n. Chr. Roman Imperial Period
Roman Imperial Period: With the beginning of iron smelting around 700 BC, the new, harder iron took the place of bronze. The Iron Age is the third major period in human history after the Stone Age and the Bronze Age. In northern Europe it is divided into the Pre-Roman Iron Age, which covers the period from the end of the Bronze Age to the expansion of the Roman Empire at the turn of the century. And the Roman Imperial Period, in which the completely new way of life introduced by the Romans, can also be clearly seen in Free Germania. With the introduction of writing, European prehistory ends - early history begins.
