A couple of 4,000-year-old mills have been unearthed in the ancient city of Kultepe in Turkey's central province of Kayseri, the semi-official Anatolia news agency reported on Friday.

"We are glad to find these complete sets of mills. People produced their flour to make bread four thousand years ago," professor Fikri Kulakoglu, head of the excavation team which carried out archaeological excavations in the ancient city, was quoted as saying.

Kulakoglu noted that they brought the complete mills into daylight for the first time during excavations of 59 years.

"We tested the system and found it quite simple and healthy. We produced flour out of wheat," Kulakoglu said, adding that they have completed the excavations of this season and unearthed a total of 219 archeological finds.
