Actually, there is no one person who invented the spoon-- and if there were one person, his or her name has never been passed down to us. We have evidence that in the ancient world, people used an object that looks like a spoon to scoop or ladle certain foods. Archaeologists have found that spoon-like objects made of bone, wood, or shells were being used in Egypt, Rome, and other places, thousands of years ago.

The kinds of ornate utensils we are accustomed to buying developed gradually. In the middle ages, the wealthy had spoons made of gold. In the American colonies, silversmiths and other craftsmen and women began creating utensils of silver or pewter in the 1700s. But whether we can name the inventor(s) or not, we know the spoon has a very long history.
