“…For Europe and southwest Asia, we have drawn extensively on the databases compiled by Colledge et al ( 2004 , 2005 ), Shennan and Conolly ( 2007 ) and Kroll ( 1996 , 1997 , 1998 , 1999 , 2000 , 2001 , 2005 ). The latter also provides information from beyond this region.…”

We have collated and reviewed published records of the genera Panicum and Setaria (Poaceae), including the domesticated millets Panicum miliaceum L. (broomcorn millet) and Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv. (foxtail millet) in pre-5000 cal B.C. sites across the Old World. Details of these sites, which span China, centraleastern Europe including the Caucasus, Iran, Syria and Egypt, are presented with associated calibrated radiocarbon dates. Forty-one sites have records of Panicum (P. miliaceum, P. cf. miliaceum, Panicum sp., Panicum type, P. capillare (?) and P. turgidum) and 33 of Setaria (S. italica, S. viridis, S. viridis/verticillata, Setaria sp., Setaria type). We identify problems of taphonomy, identification criteria and reporting, and inference of domesticated/wild and crop/weed status of finds. Both broomcorn and foxtail millet occur in northern China prior to 5000 cal B.C.; P. miliaceum occurs contemporaneously in Europe, but its significance is unclear. Further work is needed to resolve the above issues before the status of these taxa in this period can be fully evaluated.

“…Additionally, there is no compelling archaeological evidence to suggest the possible cultivation of cabbages in Europe prior to the Late Iron Age (2350–2050 BP) and Roman periods (1950–1650 BP), but there is evidence for knowledge of B. oleracea in Greece during this time ( Maggioni et al 2018 ; supplementary tables S6 and S7 , Supplementary Material online). Overall, there are no records for B. oleracea from before this period within databases relating to the Eastern Mediterranean ( Reihl 2014 ), Europe (Kroll 2001 , 2005 ), Britain ( Tomlinson and Hall 1996 ), the Czech Republic ( Kreuz and Schäfer 2002 ), or within predynastic and Pharaonic Egypt ( Murray 2000 ), despite having documentation for other Brassica species. Evidence for B. oleracea in Europe does not start appearing until ca.…”

Understanding the evolutionary history of crops, including identifying wild relatives, helps to provide insight for conservation and crop breeding efforts. Cultivated Brassica oleracea has intrigued researchers for centuries due to its wide diversity in forms, which include cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, kohlrabi, and Brussels sprouts. Yet, the evolutionary history of this species remains understudied. With such different vegetables produced from a single species, B. oleracea is a model organism for understanding the power of artificial selection. Persistent challenges in the study of B. oleracea include conflicting hypotheses regarding domestication and the identity of the closest living wild relative. Using newly generated RNA-seq data for a diversity panel of 224 accessions, which represents 14 different B. oleracea crop types and nine potential wild progenitor species, we integrate phylogenetic and population genetic techniques with ecological niche modeling, archaeological, and literary evidence to examine relationships among cultivars and wild relatives to clarify the origin of this horticulturally important species. Our analyses point to the Aegean endemic B. cretica as the closest living relative of cultivated B. oleracea, supporting an origin of cultivation in the Eastern Mediterranean region. Additionally, we identify several feral lineages, suggesting that cultivated plants of this species can revert to a wild-like state with relative ease. By expanding our understanding of the evolutionary history in B. oleracea, these results contribute to a growing body of knowledge on crop domestication that will facilitate continued breeding efforts including adaptation to changing environmental conditions.

“…Archaeobotanical records of date palm were gathered from published reports, based on finding monograph chapters based on previous regional reviews (e.g., refs. 68 and 69), a database search of “literature on archaeological remains of cultivated plants 1981–2004” (70), and a Google scholar search for additional recent journal articles. It includes all reports, most of which are dated based on associated artifactal and archaeological evidence (indicated as “ass.”), in some cases by associated radiocarbon dates (C14) or direct accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dates on crop remains.…”

SignificanceDate palm (Phoenix dactylifera L.) is one of the oldest tree crop species in the world and is a major fruit crop of arid regions of the Middle East and North Africa. We use whole-genome sequence data from a large sample of P. dactylifera and its wild relatives to show that hybridization between date palms and Phoenix theophrasti Grueter—a species endemic to the Eastern Mediterranean—is associated with the diversification of date palm.
