What kind of bean? Don't most varieties we eat today come from the Americas?

    From Wikipedia "Bean":

    cultivated since the seventh millennium BCE in Thailand, and since the second millennium BCE in Europe and in Peru.

    So from Asia, and in Europe 4 kiloyears ago

    The nine kiloyear Thai date suggests beans were among the first domesticated plants in afroeurasia
