Underutilised crops in Europe: An interdisciplinary approach towards sustainable practices

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic and environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in a sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised in Europe, despite their suitability to local environments, viability for sustainable production and potential to improve diets.

Eye makeup in Northwestern Iran at the time of the Assyrian Empire: a new kohl recipe based on manganese and graphite from Kani Koter (Iron Age III)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract Kohl was ubiquitous in ancient Egypt and the Middle East, and routinely included among the toiletries deposited in burials. For Egypt, kohl recipes are increasingly well‐studied and known to use a range of inorganic and organic ingredients. Although these are often lead‐based, manganese‐ and silicon‐rich compounds are also attested.

What can lithics tell us about food production during the transition to farming? Exploring harvesting practices and cultural changes during the neolithic in Southwest Asia: a view from Qminas (north‐western Syria)

Archaeometry, EarlyView.
Abstract This study examines the continuity and change in harvesting practices between the Late Pre‐Pottery Neolithic B (LPPNB) and the Early Pottery Neolithic at Qminas, north‐western Levant, through a traceological analysis of flint sickles. By combining qualitative traceological analysis with quantitative functional approaches, we demonstrate that ...

Multiple indicators record human adaptations to climatic change during the Middle Holocene at the Wanbei site in the middle and lower Huai River valley, China

Boreas, EarlyView.
The archaeological sediment sequences analysis from the Wanbei site reveals a predominantly warm and humid climate with a brief cooling phase between 5600 and 5400 a BP, during the Middle Holocene in the middle and lower Huai River valley. Despite the cooling trend, rice remained the dominant crop in mixed farming, while the proportion of millet ...
