Dear Lisa...I'm outreaching to Cambridge Middle Schools about ancient grains and food. Could you send me a pdf also.

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..
