Season 1, Episode 18

The ways that we do things today have been informed by the ways that humans have done them throughout our history.  How long have humans been cultivating, harvesting, storing, and eating grain?  Can you believe that the archaeological record shows that humans have been storing and processing cereals for more than 11,000 years?  It was an honor to talk about grain archaeology with Dr. Bill Finlayson from Oxford University about the Agricultural Revolution and other related topics.  More about his work can be found at his Academia page and his Oxford University webpage.  There you can his published works and contact information.

In our next episode, we will continue our discussion about the archaeology and history of cereals.  We will talk with Dr. Ian Kuijt, one of Dr. Finlayson’s colleagues and fellow archaeologists.  Hopefully you enjoy this two-part series and find it enlightening.
