Ancient Mesopotamian discovery transforms knowledge of early farming
Rutgers researchers have unearthed the earliest definitive evidence of broomcorn millet in ancient Iraq, challenging our understanding of humanity's earliest agricultural practices.
"The presence of this East Asian crop in ancient Iraq highlights the interconnected nature of Eurasia during this time, contributing to our knowledge of early food globalization," Laugier said."Our discovery of millet and thus the evidence of summer cultivation practices also forces us to reconsider the capacity and resilience of the agricultural systems that sustained and provisioned Mesopotamia's early cities, states and empires.
Agricultural production is thought to be the basis for supporting and provisioning Mesopotamian cities, states and empires. The researchers' new evidence that crops and food were, in fact, grown in summer months means that previous studies likely vastly under-appreciated the capacities and resilience of ancient agricultural food-system societies in semi-arid ecosystems.
