Gone to seed? Early pottery and plant processing in Holocene north Africa

Julie Dunne

Summary: Plant foods are crucial in human diet and history, with the invention of thermally resistant ceramic vessels during the Holocene allowing for new ways to cook wild plants and expand dietary variety. Analysis of plant lipids in pottery at Holocene sites in North Africa provides insights into the range of plants processed and consumed, shedding light on the dietary and subsistence practices of human groups in the region during this time period.

Agricultural diversification in West Africa: an archaeobotanical study of the site of Sadia (Dogon Country, Mali)

Louis Champion et al.

Summary: This research aims to fill the gap in the history of African agriculture by studying archaeological samples from Mali and discovering the evolution of agriculture and foodways in West Africa. Along with pearl millet, sorghum, African rice, fonio, and barnyard millet/hungry rice were found in the samples, indicating a diversification of crops in West Africa starting from the tenth century AD.

Honey-collecting in prehistoric West Africa from 3500 years ago

Julie Dunne et al.

Summary: The study found that over one third of lipid residues in prehistoric pottery vessels from the Nok culture in West Africa indicated exploitation and processing of bee products, likely including honey collection. This highlights the probable importance of honey collecting in an early farming context in West Africa around 3500 years ago.

Transition From Wild to Domesticated Pearl Millet (Pennisetum glaucum) Revealed in Ceramic Temper at Three Middle Holocene Sites in Northern Mali

Dorian Q. Fuller et al.

Summary: Through the examination of cultivated pearl millet imprints found in ceramics dating back to the third millennium BC, this research provides evidence of the cultivation and domestication process of this crop in northern Mali. The study also reveals the existence of wild forms of pearl millet in ceramics dating to the fifth and fourth millennium BC. By analyzing the morphological evolution of domesticated pearl millet using various techniques, the research sheds light on the changes in grain size and other characteristics over time.
