Geometric morphometrics sheds new light on the identification and domestication status of ?new glume wheat? at Neolithic ?atalho?y?k

Tina Roushannafas et al.

Summary: The study shows that 'New glume wheat' (NGW), a type of wheat found at Neolithic-Bronze Age sites, is closely comparable to modern wheats from the Triticum timopheevii group. The analysis also suggests that NGW was undergoing selection for domestication traits during the East Mound sequence. These findings provide insights into the taxonomic classification and domestication status of NGW and highlight the importance of a broad-spectrum plant strategy at the site.

Deciphering ancient ?recipes ? from charred cereal fragments: An integrated methodological approach using experimental, ethnographic and archaeological evidence

Soultana Maria Valamoti et al.

Summary: This study evaluates experimentally generated cereal fragments to develop criteria for interpreting archaeological remains of ground cereals. By observing the fracture surfaces of cereals through stereomicroscopy and Scanning Electron Microscopy, specific grain treatments have been identified that help interpret ancient foods. This research contributes new information towards the identification of past culinary practices involving grinding, boiling and brewing cereals.

Recent attestations of new glume wheat in Turkey: a reassessment of its role in the reconstruction of Neolithic agriculture

Burhan Ulas et al.

Summary: Studies on the origins of agriculture in the Near East have shown that eight plant species known as Founder Crops were domesticated from wild predecessors, but recent research on new glume wheat (NGW) has sparked debate on whether there are only eight Founder Crops in the region. The discovery and analysis of NGW remains in Turkey and other European sites have opened up new discussions on its presence in Anatolia, its origins, and the ways by which it spread to other regions. This study evaluates the two basic models of domestication and geographical expansion based on the new evidence of NGW in Turkey and its relationship with other European sites.
