Ancient civilizations primarily used knives made from stone, bronze, or iron for cutting food. Forks were not commonly used until later; instead, people often used their fingers or knives to pick up food. In some cultures, like ancient Rome, short forks were used for serving or assisting in eating, but they were not widespread. Overall, dining utensils varied greatly by region and period, reflecting available materials and cultural practices.
