A team of Iranian archaeologists has recently found some wheat and other seeds which are estimated to date from some 3,000 years ago.

The team unearthed an earthen bowl that contained some wheat, wild plants and probably barley seeds during a stratigraphy project in the centuries-old Sardar Castle located in Bukan, northwestern province of West Azarbaijan, ISNA reported on Thursday.

A stone mortar and pestle were also recovered next to the bowl, the report added.
