在本文中，我们报告新获得的数据谷物从新石器时代到青铜时代从北方一侧的黑海。北庞蒂克地区的一部分，位于今天的乌克兰境内，是讨论欧亚大陆西部和东部之间农业分布的焦点之一;然而，现有的可靠谷物数据很少。在这项研究中，我们采用了一种改进的硅树脂铸造方法来获得陶器文物的印模，并对来自不同时代的30，000多件陶器样品进行了调查。利用扫描电子显微镜观察种子表面纹理，进一步提高了识别精度。结果显示，乌克兰新石器时代陶器中没有可靠的谷物印记，尽管预测在公元前6世纪之前，可耕地农业开始得特别早。相比之下，在线性带和新石器时代的陶器，谷物起源于西亚被确定，但中国小米缺席。与此同时，在青铜时代晚期的陶器中，突然出现了大量的黍属植物的印痕，并伴有大麦和小麦。中国粟属种Setaria italica与P. miliaceum使用我们的方法，没有确定。本次调查获得的考古植物学数据集是研究横跨欧亚大陆东部和西部的食物全球化的重要成就。
In this paper, we report newly obtained data on cereals from the Neolithic to Bronze Age from the northern side of the Black Sea. One part of the North Pontic area, located within present-day Ukraine, is one of the focal points of discussions on the agricultural dispersal between West and East Eurasia; however, existing reliable cereal data are scarce. In this study, we employed an improved silicone casting method to obtain impressions from pottery artifacts and conducted a survey of more than 30,000 pottery samples from different times. Observations of seed surface texture using scanning electron microscopy further improved the identification accuracy. The results showed no reliable cereal impressions in Ukrainian sub-Neolithic pottery, despite the predicted exceptionally early start of arable agriculture prior to the 6th millennium BC. In contrast, in Linear Band and Eneolithic pottery, cereals originating from West Asia were identified, although Chinese millet was absent. Meanwhile, abundantPanicum miliaceumimpressions appeared abruptly with incidental barley and wheat in Late Bronze Age pottery. The Chinese millet speciesSetaria italica, which is clearly distinguishable fromP. miliaceumusing our method, was not identified. The archaeobotanical dataset obtained in this survey is an important achievement in examining food globalization that crossed the east and west of Eurasia.
