Excavations in the Middle East and Asia Minor since 1950 have brought to light cereals from the Pre-Pottery settlement layers which go back to the beginning of farming. Both barley and hulled wheats were found. Similar observations have been made with wheat. In Jarmo Helbaek found a hulled wheat closely related to Triticum dicoccoides as well as T. dicoccum , and in Ali Kosh, Beidha and Hacilar there was also emmer. Of the hulled wheats the oldest period yielded only two single grains of emmer, Triticum dicoccum . Emmer alters on carbonizing, in contrast to einkorn, so that the upper half swells up and it becomes drop-shaped, as was found in all the settlement phases at Jericho. On the basis of the finds described, cultivation in Jericho during the Pre-Pottery A phase could possibly be traced to the taking into cultivation of native wild plants.
