“…In southeast Turkey, archaeobotanical (73)(74)(75) and isotope (78,79) evidence indicates that legumes such as lentil, bitter vetch (Vicia ervilia), and pea seem to have been consumed preferentially during the EPPNB. The importance of legumes in the subsistence is also shown at other contemporary sites such as Tell el-Kerkh in northwest Syria (80) and Ahihud in Israel (81), where domesticated-type chickpea and faba bean (Vicia faba) have been found. In the Zagros, continued exploitation of wild plants, including goatgrass and small-seeded wild grasses and legumes, is attested (23,66).…”

“…The existing evidence-the absence of chick pea in all of the studied 27 Bulgarian late Neolithic and early Chalcolithic sites (a summary of these sites is given in Marinova 2006) points to the fact that chick pea was only present in some phases. In this context, however, it should not be forgotten that also due to its large size the charred chick pea seeds are more susceptible to breakage than the small pulses such as lentils and Vicia ervilia (bitter vetch) and this in some cases hampers their identification in the archaeobotanical record (Helbaek 1959;Tanno and Willcox 2006). Considering the different extents of analysis of the various sites, it should be stressed that further research and evidence are needed to verify this suggestion.…”

“…In our previous studies, we accidentally noticed that the lentil has greater sensitivity to water treatments than wheat and barley grains and therefore our goal was to verify whether this difference is constant and to what extent the difference between the species exists. Tanno and Willcox (2006) hypothesised that the rarity of faba bean fi nds in their investigation might have been due to their fragility (and devastation during fl otation and transportation). Because of the limited access to real archaeological material not previously treated with water, in this study we could not include all the legumes and cereals which could theoretically be found on archaeological sites.…”
