Ancient Britons imported wheat 8000 years ago, new archeological evidence suggests | Science Recorder

“Amongst our Bouldnor Cliff samples we found ancient DNA evidence of wheat at the site, which was not seen in mainland Britain for another 2,000 years,” said Dr. Allaby in a report by Scientific American. “This is incredibly exciting because it means Bouldnor’s inhabitants were not as isolated as previously thought. In fact, they were in touch, one way or another, with more advanced Neolithic farming communities in southern Europe.”
