guter Artikel, obwohl die Autorin Schwierigkeiten mit der Datierung vor Christus und vor heute hat. Richtig ist, dass im Science-Artikel die untersuchten Feigen auf 11400 bis 11200 Jahre vor heute datiert werden:
Early Domesticated Fig in the Jordan Valley
Mordechai E. Kislev,1* Anat Hartmann,2 Ofer Bar-Yosef3
It is generally accepted that the fig tree was domesticated in the Near East some 6500 years ago. Here we report the discovery of nine carbonized fig fruits and hundreds of drupelets stored in Gilgal I, an early Neolithic village, located in the Lower Jordan Valley, which dates to 11,400 to 11,200 years ago. We suggest that these edible fruits were gathered from parthenocarpic trees grown from intentionally planted branches. Hence, fig trees could have been the first domesticated plant of the Neolithic Revolution, which preceded cereal domestication by about a thousand years.
