摘要: Analysis of flotation samples from twelve sites in Karnataka and Andhra Pradesh (south India) provides clear evidence for the predominant subsistence plants Neolithic period (2,800–1,200 cal b.c.). This indicates that likely staples were two pulses (Vigna radiata Macrotyloma uniflorum) millet-grasses (Brachiaria ramosa Setaria verticillata) which indigenous to Indian peninsula. At some there is limited cultivation wheats (Triticum diococcum, Triticum durum/aestivum) barley (Hordeum vulgare), a few crops originated Africa, including hyacinth bean (Lablab purpureus), pearl millet (Pennisetum glaucum) finger (Eleusine coracana). In addition cotton (Gossypium sp.), linseed (Linum as well gathered fruits Ziziphus Cucurbitaceae. suggests earliest agriculture south India, dating third millennium b.c., was based on domesticated region, subsequently late 3rd b.c. through 2nd additional other regions adopted into system.
