digging into the ancient hebrew diet
thousands of years from now, archaeologists will be able to figure out what we ate, and not because foodies like to post on instagram. after all, ancient people didnt have instagram, but we know a lot about what was on their menus. the key to unlocking munch - time mysteries is to take an extremely basic, tried - and - true approach: digging through the trash.
in jerusalem, archaeologists excavated a landfill from the first century ce and unearthed clues about the ancient hebrew diet. the ancient hebrews left behind a list of religious dietary laws, so the archaeologists knew a little about what the hebrews were and werent supposed to eat even before they went digging. but based on what archaeologists found when they looked at the evidence, the list didnt include everything the hebrews were actually eating on a regular basis.
the main course
theres plenty of evidence that meat was at the center of the ancient hebrew table—but not just any meat. archaeologists unearthed 12,000 animal bones in the ancient dump, revealing that people were dining on sheep, goats, chickens, and cows. what they didnt find were pig bones, which makes sense, since one of the dietary rules said that people could eat \any hoofed animal that has cloven hooves and also chews the cud.\ pigs have cloven hooves, but they dont chew the cud.

a. what non - edible products the ancient hebrews made from olive trees

Question

Accepted Answer

# Brief Explanations:
- Option A: The article doesn't mention non - edible products from olive trees, so this is not supported.
- Option B: The text says "In Jerusalem, archaeologists excavated a landfill from the first century CE", so this is stated.
- Option C: The article has no information about bread being popular among ancient Hebrews, so this is not supported? Wait, no, let's re - check. Wait, the article talks about meat and dietary laws, but not bread. Wait, no, the question is "all of the following except", so we need to find which one is NOT in the article. Wait, the article says archaeologists found animal bones (sheep, goats, chickens, cows) and that they didn't find pig bones. But there's no mention of bread. Wait, but let's check each option again. Wait, the article: "In Jerusalem, archaeologists excavated a landfill from the first century CE" (so B is in the article). "Archaeologists found... sheep, goats, chickens, and cows" (so D: archaeologists concluded they ate sheep and chickens is supported as they found those bones). The article has no info about bread (C) or non - edible products from olive trees (A). Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the question is which is NOT in the article. Let's re - read the article. The article is about the diet of ancient Hebrews, what archaeologists found (animal bones, landfill excavation, dietary laws). There's no mention of bread (C) or non - edible products from olive trees (A). Wait, but maybe the correct answer is C? Wait, no, let's check the options again. Wait, the article: "archaeologists excavated a landfill from the first century CE" (B is correct, so not the answer). "Archaeologists found... sheep, goats, chickens, and cows" (so D: they ate sheep and chickens is supported, as those bones were found, so D is in the article). The article has no info about bread (C) or non - edible olive tree products (A). Wait, but maybe the answer is C? Wait, no, maybe I misread. Wait, the question is "the Article says all of the following except". So we need to find the one the article does NOT say. Let's check each:

A: The article doesn't mention non - edible products from olive trees.

B: The article says "In Jerusalem, archaeologists excavated a landfill from the first century CE" → B is stated.

C: The article has no info about bread being popular among ancient Hebrews → C is not stated.

D: The article has animal bones of sheep, goats, chickens, so archaeologists can conclude they ate those → D is supported.

But wait, the article also has no info about A. So which one is the answer? Wait, maybe the intended answer is C? Wait, no, maybe I made a mistake. Wait, the article's main focus is on meat and dietary laws, not bread. So C is not in the article. But also A is not in the article. Wait, this is confusing. Wait, maybe the correct answer is C? Wait, no, let's check the options again. Wait, the question is from a social studies (history) context. Let's re - examine the article text:

The article: "Thousands of years from now,... archaeologists will be able to figure out what we ate... In Jerusalem, archaeologists excavated a landfill from the first century CE... The ancient Hebrews left behind a list of religious dietary laws... Archaeologists found... sheep, goats, chickens, and cows... didn't find pig bones... any cloven - hoofed animal that chews the cud (sheep, goats) they could eat, pigs have cloven hooves but don't chew cud so they didn't eat pigs."

So:

- B: "when archaeologists excavated a landfill in Jerusalem from the first century CE" → stated.

- D: "how archaeologists concluded that the ancient Hebrews ate sheep and chickens" → they found those bones, so they can conclude that, so D is supported.

- A: "what non - edible products the ancient Hebrews made from olive trees" → no mention.

- C: "how archaeologists knew that bread was popular among ancient Hebrews" → no mention.

But the question is "all of the following except", so we need to find which one is NOT in the article. But there are two (A and C) not in the article? That can't be. Wait, maybe I misread the options. Wait, option C: "how archaeologists knew that bread was popular among ancient Hebrews" → the article has no info about bread, so C is not in the article. Option A: "what non - edible products the ancient Hebrews made from olive trees" → also no info. But maybe the intended answer is C? Wait, no, maybe the question has a typo, or I misread. Wait, maybe the correct answer is C. Because the article is about meat and dietary laws, not bread. So the article doesn't say how archaeologists knew bread was popular. So the answer is C.
