In this paper we discuss recent developments in documenting the spread of millet across the Eurasian steppes. We emphasize that, despite a recent proposal that millet consumption in southern Siberia can be attributed to the Early Bronze Age (i.e., the late third to early second millennium BC), at present there are no direct data for southern Siberia indicating the consumption of millet prior to the Late Bronze Age, from the 14th century BC. We also present in full the combined stable isotope and 14C datasets from the Minusinsk Basin to support this conclusion.

公元前2000年中期之前西伯利亚的小米消费量？近期发展回顾

在本文中，我们讨论了记录小米在欧亚大草原上传播的最新进展。我们强调，尽管最近有人提出，西伯利亚南部的小米消费可归因于青铜时代早期（即公元前 3 世纪末至 2 世纪初），但目前还没有西伯利亚南部的直接数据表明小米的消费在青铜时代晚期之前，从公元前 14 世纪开始。我们还全面介绍了组合的稳定同位素和14来自 Minusinsk 盆地的 C 数据集支持这一结论。
