Numerous fragments of predominately naked, six–row barley (Hordeum vulgare var. hexastichon) were found during archaeological research at the Late Bronze Age (c.1400–900 BC) site at Turnov-Maškovy Zahrady in North Bohemia. There are no references to similar finds in the literature, making this find unique in Central Europe. Grains were found in three pits of various size and depth. The grains were fragmented prior to charring and did not have the shiny appearance associated with prior treatment with water. The spatial distribution of pits with fragmented charred grains is indicative of food preparation in the vicinity of houses. These finds resemble the fragmented cereal grains found in Bulgaria and northern Greece that mark the prehistoric origin of bulgur cereal preparation widely used in Mediterranean cuisine.
