Graines d'histoire by Claire Newton, Jean-Frédéric Terral, Sarah Ivorra, Muriel Gros-Balthazard, Claire Tito de Morais, Sandrine Picq, Margareta Tengberg, Jean-Christophe Pintaud

“…We could also characterize ancestral seed shape features present in uncultivated populations. Within Phoenix dactylifera, the agrobiodiversity appears complex in terms of geographical structure; the distribution pattern of seed shapes points to human dispersal routes that spread cultivation from one or more initial ‘domestication centres’.In addition, this work provides a powerful tool to identify ancient forms as demonstrated by the analysis of well-preserved desiccated seeds from Egyptian archaeological sites (14th c. …”
