A large part of the world’s crops are cultivated in regions quite different from their place of origin. While much of that food globalization has resulted from modern trade networks established during the past 400 years, it has its roots in prehistory. By the beginning of the second millennium BC, the south-west Asian crops, notably, wheat and barley, were in several parts of China, and Chinese millets were in Europe. Meanwhile, there were parallel exchanges of staple crops between east and south Asia and between south Asia and north Africa. I am currently conducting research that employs stable isotope studies, archaeobotany and ethno-archaeology to establish when and how that early globalization of staple foodstuffs happened. In order to understand the pathways of movement across the continent and place those vast landscapes in context, I am collaborating in excavations in Romania, Kazakhstan and three regions that fall within the territory of modern China: Inner Mongolia, Xinjiang and Tibet. I am also interested in problems associated with the early use of Chinese millets (Panicum miliaceum and Setaria italica). In studies of early China, it is quite clear that a focus upon durable material goods in the archaeological record lends particular prominence to those with an abundance of such goods. An alternative focus upon quite ordinary foodstuffs shifts our gaze to a much wider range of people and emphasizes the role played by the primary agents of agricultural production, the farmers. By conducting fieldwork and subsequent lab based analysis, I intend to answer the following two questions: what millet production and consumption meant to early societies; and what it meant for the plants upon which humans relied for food.
