Millets across Eurasia: chronology and context of early records of the genera Panicum and Setaria from archaeological sites in the Old World.
Harriet V. Hunt,Marc Vander Linden,Xinyi Liu,Giedre Motuzaite-Matuzeviciute,Sue Colledge,Martin K. Jones +5 more
TL;DR: Thirty-one sites have records of Panicum (P. miliaceum, P. turgidum) and Setaria (S. italica, S. viridis/verticillata, Setaria sp., Setaria type) and further work is needed to resolve the above issues before the status of these taxa in this period can be fully evaluated.

Journal ArticleDOI
The early chronology of broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum) in Europe
TL;DR: In this article, 10 grains of broomcorn millet were directly dated by AMS and showed that the millet grains were significantly younger than the contexts in which they had been found, and that the hypothesis of an early transmission of the crop from east to west could not be sustained.
