淀粉的植物来源已经在世界上的几个地方被驯化。到公元前2000年，在欧亚大陆的许多地方，不仅在其原产地周围，而且在距离它们相当远的地方，都能看到这种淀粉作物。本文利用欧亚大陆的证据，探讨了史前时期食物全球化的这一事件，其对全球饮食的影响程度可与历史上的哥伦布大交换相提并论。早期的食品全球化事件的可能原因进行了讨论，并位于史前跨大陆接触的更广泛的考虑。
Plant sources of starch have been domesticated in several parts of the world. By the second millennium BC in various parts of Eurasia, such starchy crops are encountered, not only around their geographical regions of origin, but also at considerable distances from them. Drawing on evidence from across Eurasia, this paper explores this episode of food globalization in prehistory, comparable in the scale of its impact on global diets to the Columbian Exchange of historic times. Possible reasons for the earlier episode of food globalization are discussed and situated within a broader consideration of cross-continental contact in prehistory.
