Ancient West-Coastal Bantu Banana Vocabulary
Lexical data has been key in attempts to reconstruct the early history of the banana (Musa sp.) in Africa. Previous language-based approaches to the introduction and dispersal of this staple crop of Asian origin have suffered from the absence of well-established genealogical classifications and inadequate historical-linguistic analysis. We therefore focus in this article on West-Coastal Bantu (WCB), one specific branch within the Bantu family who…
Bananas
The Original Banana Split
Traditional starchy banana cultivation in the humid tropics is dominated by two widespread, but geographically discrete, groups of AAB cultivars: plantains in Africa and maoli-popo`ulu in the Pacific. Both AAB subgroups exhibit exceptionally high cultivar diversity due to multiple somatic mutations, and yet both subgroups have relatively similar genetic origins. Although both cultivar groups originated within a region defined by the Philippines, …
Relevance of Banana Seeds in Archaeology
In this contribution, the importance of banana seeds collected during archaeological investigations is indicated. Because fully-formed seeds are not ordinarily produced in bananas cultivated for food, the archaeological relevance of banana seeds may initially appear to be limited. However, there are a number of contexts in which the recovery and identification of seeds can be important for understanding the initial domestication and dispersal of …
Differentiating the Volcaniform Phytoliths of Bananas
Banana phytoliths are considered a suitable tool in archaeology to track the history of the human populations involved in banana cultivation and dispersal throughout the tropical world. This study is confined to an initial investigation of the species Musa acuminata Colla and of its edible diploid and triploid derivatives. Slight morphological and/or morphometrical differences of the volcaniform phytoliths can be expected because of the very comp…
Why Bananas Matter
The multi-disciplinary contributions to this volume are all dedicated to the history of banana (Musa spp.) domestication and its significance. Wild bananas of the genus Musa have undergone a complex domestication history that has only been partially unravelled and remains to be fully elucidated. This volume is the first attempt to synthesise the latest 'state of the art' research across a range of disciplines (either in combination or separately)…

Plantain in the Early Bantu World
Une recente etude comaparative exhaustive des langues bantoues et malgaches suggere que les Malgaches ne sont pas les premiers a avoir introduit la banane en Afrique et que les Bantous devaient connaitre cette plante avant d'entrer en contact avec les Malgaches. Les auteurs de cette contribution adoptent cette these, mais considerent egalement la probabilite d'une entree sur le continent africain, par vagues successives, de groupes distincts de b…
