今天的许多主要粮食作物分布在世界各地。虽然这种“食物全球化”在很大程度上是现代贸易网络的结果，但它的根源却在史前。在本文中，我们研究了公元前5000年至1500年之间在旧大陆长距离移动的谷类作物。综合最近的考古证据，我们现在能够构建一个新的史前食物全球化的年表和地理学。在这里，我们合理化的证据，这一过程中的三个连续的事件：前5000年，公元前5000年和2500年之间，2500年和1500年之间。每一幕的特点是不同的地理模式，作物运动的社会驱动力，以及对作物的生态约束。到公元前1500年，粮食全球化的进程将以前孤立的农业系统结合在一起，形成了一种新的农业，将当地和外来作物结合在一起，形成了一种新的集约化形式。(C)2018爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Many of today's major food crops are distributed worldwide. While much of this 'food globalisation' has resulted from modern trade networks, it has its roots in prehistory. In this paper, we examine cereal crops that moved long distances across the Old World between 5000 and 1500 BC. Drawing together recent archaeological evidence, we are now able to construct a new chronology and biogeography of prehistoric food globalisation. Here we rationalize the evidence for this process within three successive episodes: pre-5000 BC, between 5000 and 2500 BC, and between 2500 and 1500 BC. Each episode can be characterized by distinct biogeographical patterns, social drivers of the crop movements, and ecological constraints upon the crop plants. By 1500 BC, this process of food globalisation had brought together previously isolated agricultural systems, to constitute a new kind of agriculture in which the bringing together of local and exotic crops enables a new form of intensification.
