Israeli archaeologists have unearthed ancient Egyptian beer vessels in Tel Aviv.<br /><br /> The fragments of brewing basins indicate that Egyptians more than 5,000 years ago had settled farther north than previously thought. <br /><br /> The ceramics would have held a thick, partially backed barley and water mixture left to ferment in the sun.<br /><br /> The shards were found under an office construction site in Tel Aviv in 17 pits used to store agricultural produce in the Early Bronze Age.
