Dear Lisa,


I would like your  diagram of medit. diet.  Also, exactly what bean species 
do you mean that  came from Asia? 


thanks

Fun but it is Ottoman/modern.  
 
Years ago when we were working in Turkey with all the archaeobotanists  we 
started tracing when the South American foods arrived there - from Spain  
via North Africa.  The earliest we found was 1581 (Busbeq's trip to  Amasia).  
I also heard from Colin Leakey (who among other  things advised Heinz about 
beans) that beans probably reached the  west across Asia.
 
I would love to hear what the latest data is on all  this. 
 
I tried with Sibby Postgate to reconstruct the Bronze Age  diet in a 
diagram based on an advert for olive oil margarine  lauding the Mediterranean 
diet. We got it as accurate as we could in  2002.  I can send it to anyone who 
would like it as a pdf attachmet..
