DESCRIPTION:During the early Holocene agriculture arose independently in d
 ifferent regions across the globe.  Subsequently\, farming communities in 
 these regions came into contact with each other and in the process exchang
 ed crops and livestock between regions. At the Darwin College seminar I am
  going to present my current work on the Leverhulme Trust project: “Pion
 eers of Pan-Asian Contact (PPAC)”. The research focuses on tracing the p
 athways of the earliest crops that travelled to Europe from China. Through
  the application of a variety of techniques such as flotation\, the analys
 is of macrofossils/microfossils and stable isotopes we are trying to track
  down what was grown\, consumed\, shared and moved across the Eurasian ste
 ppes starting around eight thousand years ago.
