This brief contribution uses archaeobotanical data to quantify the edible weight and energetic value of a khar of emmer wheat and a khar of barley. It then combines these data with emmer and barley prices from late New Kingdom Deir el-Medina to argue that, contrary to conventional wisdom, emmer wheat was more expensive per calorie than barley during most of this period. It furthermore argues that emmer wheat and barley were delivered to the workers in almost equal quantities.

新王国晚期的二粒小麦和大麦价格：解决了拉美西德价格悖论

这个简短的贡献使用古植物数据来量化一粒二粒小麦和一粒大麦的可食用重量和能量价值。然后将这些数据与新王国代尔麦地那晚期的二粒小麦和大麦价格相结合，认为与传统观点相反，在此期间的大部分时间里，二粒小麦每卡路里比大麦贵。它还争辩说，二粒小麦和大麦以几乎相等的数量交付给工人。
