Dietrich's Findings in the Rock Garden at Gabele Tepe

Dietrich's work is part of a growing movement to take a closer look at the role that grains and other starches had in the diet of people in the past. The researchers are using a wide range of techniques, from examining microscopic marks on ancient tools to analyzing dna residues inside pots. Some investigators are even experimentally recreating 12 thousand year old meals using methods from that time.
