(单词翻译)
Early farming began in the Near East about 10500 years ago. Farming first reached Balkans in Europe some 8 to 9 thousand years ago and then crept westward1. Locals in Britain seperated from mainland by the relatively2 newly formed English Channal did not start farming until about 6000 years ago. But an analysis of sediment3 from a submerged British archaeological site called Bouldner Cliff found something unexpected. Amongst our Bouldner Cliff samples, we found ancient DNA4 evidence of wheat at the site, which was mot seen in mainland Britain for another 2 thousand years, That's Robin5 Allaby of the university of Warwick. However, wheat was already been grown in southern Europe. It's incredibly exciting because it means Boundler's inhabitants were not isolated6 as priviously thought. In fact, they were in touch, one way or another, with more advanced Neolithic7 farming communities in southern Europe. The work by Allaby and colleagues is in the Journal Science.
