As such, it is the perfect candidate for the study of early agriculture, plant uses, food preparation and cooking practices. In order to explore these, new excavations and intensive sampling and flotation for the recovery of archaeobotanical remains were carried out in 2012 and 2014. This study presents the results from the analysis of the newly recovered archaeobotanical assemblage from Jarmo which has provided invaluable information about early crop agriculture and plant use. Furthermore, the in-depth study of recovered remains of archaeological food by high-resolution microscopy has shed light on culinary traditions and dietary choices during the Neolithic in the Central Zagros Area. date: 2023-12-01 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier BV official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jasrep.2023.104264 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 2105824 doi: 10.1016/j.jasrep.2023.104264 lyricists_name: Fuller, Dorian lyricists_id: DFULL78 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Journal of Archaeological Science: Reports volume: 52 article_number: 104264 issn: 2352-409X citation: González Carretero, L; Lucas, L; Stevens, C; Fuller, DQ; (2023) Investigating early agriculture, plant use and culinary practices at Neolithic Jarmo (Iraqi Kurdistan).
