Plant Domestication in the Middle Nile Basin: An Archaeoethnobotanical Case Study

This work is a study of macrofossil plant remains (mainly seeds and grains), their
impressions in pottery and the items of material culture that can be associated with them which were recovered from eleven archaeological sites in the Central Sudan . The
research aims at studying the utilization of food-plants between c. 9000 and 1700 B.P.
and at explaining the late date of their domestication.
