Early cultivation of broomcorn millet in southern Britain

A single pit containing a mixed assemblage of charred plant remains, including broomcorn millet, was discovered during excavation of a Middle-Late Bronze Age settlement at Old Catton, Norfolk. Radiocarbon dating of this assemblage dates it to the Late Bronze Age-including a date of 910-800 cal BC for the millet itself-making this the earliest securely dated use of broomcorn millet in Britain
