摘要摘要对“食物全球化”的研究追溯了谷物在史前欧亚大陆的传播。然而，这些作物在多大程度上伴随着土壤和水的准备知识却鲜为人知。作者使用稳定同位素和考古植物学分析来追踪黄土高原（公元前6000年至公元1900年）耕作实践的长期趋势。结果表明，古代农民种植的谷物来自西南亚，并对不同的物种使用不同的策略。大麦被整合到现有的做法，而小麦种植使用新的土壤和水管理策略。这些不同的方法表明，史前作物的传播和有关它们的知识因当地环境而异。
Abstract ABSTRACT Studies of ‘food globalisation’ have traced the dispersal of cereals across prehistoric Eurasia. The degree to which these crops were accompanied by knowledge of soil and water preparation is less well known, however. The authors use stable isotope and archaeobotanical analyses to trace long-term trends in cultivation practices on the Loess Plateau (6000 BC–AD 1900). The results indicate that ancient farmers cultivated grains originating in South-west Asia and used distinct strategies for different species. Barley was integrated into pre-existing practices, while wheat was grown using novel soil and water management strategies. These distinct approaches suggest that the spread of prehistoric crops and knowledge about them varied by local context.
