Research by archaeologists of Cornell University has found that chocolate was used as far back as 3,100 years. In pottery dug up in Central America, they discovered traces of a chemical compound found only in the cacao plant. Cacao is the source of chocolate. The pottery was for holding liquids.
It seems that the Mesoamericans of that time were making cacao drinks, fermented from the pulp, rather than the chocolaty drink made from the seeds. These drinks were served on important occasions.
It seems they had a better idea than us how to use chocolate.
