This prehistoric barley specimen can prove that human beings mastered the technology of artificial cultivation of barley 4,000 years ago, which broke the previous research on the spread of barley and the history of artificial cultivation of crops, and was a breakthrough in the study of agricultural history and environmental history?
In the Neolithic site of Donghuishan, Liuba Township, Minle County, Gansu Province, carbonized wheat grains of five crops are very similar in shape to highland barley cultivated in northwest China. The age of this site is 5000 years ago? This is the earliest barley relic found in China so far?
This discovery extended the history of barley cultivation to the Shang and Zhou dynasties, which was a major breakthrough in prehistoric agricultural archaeology?
In addition, during the joint investigation of wild barley in Tibet, Qinghai and western Sichuan, it was found that almost all kinds of related wild barley, including wild two-rowed barley, and some of them existed in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau?
As early as the middle Neolithic age, the ancient Qiang people living in Qinghai began to cultivate in the upper reaches of the Yellow River? Explain that the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau should be one of the origin centers of barley in the world? Especially rye, China may be the main birthplace?
