These were compared with modern crops. The analysis pointed to the use of foxtail millet ( Setaria italica ) and broomcorn millet ( Panicum miliaceum )

I found this statement very interesting... We now spray for both of those plants, as we find them to be weeds.
You do not want to see pictures of a cow that has injested foxtail. The seeds get caught in the soft palate of the mouth, leading to severe and painful (and horribly disgusting) infection.
To think that what I consider weed seeds were milled and cooked to form tasty noodles makes me take pause.
Very cool, as are all of your posts Cynthetiq!
