New archaeobotanical data from the archaeological site of Tashbulak (800–1100 A.D.) in the mountains of Uzbekistan is shedding some light on what crops were being grown and consumed in Central Asia during the medieval period.

However, few systematic studies have investigated the cultivated plants that spread along the trans-Eurasian exchange during this time. This cultural exchange is thought to have reached a peak in the late first millennium A.D., and these exchange networks fostered the spread of domesticated plants and animals across Eurasia. Much of this contact relied on high-elevation mountain valleys, often linking towns and caravanserais through alpine territories.

Pamir region (Eastern Tajikistan) for crop and CWR diversity.ĭuring the first millennium A.D., Central Asia was marked by broad networks of exchange and interaction, what many historians collectively refer to as the “Silk Road”. Vavilov and others, who mainly stressed the importance of the New information to the body of literature published by N. Richness from the eastern part of the country (least diversity) to the western part (greatest diversity). Within the country, the results indicate a clear gradient of food CWR taxonomic Thisĭocumented CWR diversity far exceeds previous scientific assessments for the country and, in doing so, distinguishes the Native distant relatives of these crops (1B) and 411 as native taxa with an undetermined relationship to these crops (1C). Among them, 71 taxa were recognized as native close relatives of globally important crops (category 1A), 67 as A total of 549 food CWR taxa belonging to 36 families and 125 genera were documented as occurring in theĬountry. Here, we compile the first inventory of food CWR of Resources is far from comprehensive, particularly regarding CWR.

Despite being located within a primary region of crop diversity, documentation of Tajik crop and crop wild relative (CWR)
