“…Early deposits found in Israel 37 but also in central Europe 38 , 39 lack radiocarbon dates on the seeds or on direct contexts where the seeds were found. New efforts on dating these seeds and their contexts should be made before interpreting the route of cultivation/domestication 5 , 8 . Future studies on poppy seeds should integrate the morphometric as well as the direct dating approaches 36 .…”

“…Opium poppy ( Papaver somniferum L.) is one of the oldest cultivated plant species. Archaeological evidence shows that poppy has been cultivated and used for thousands of years, dating back to the earliest Neolithic ages (Kritikos & Papadaki, 1967; Askitopoulou et al ., 2002; Bernáth & Németh, 2009; Salavert et al ., 2018). However, its origin and domestication history has remained unclear until recently.…”
