Abstract:		 the authors discuss the potential of the study of ancient biomolecules in preserved wheat remains to provide information on the initial development of agriculture and its subsequent trajectories and spread in relation to changing human society. They detected ancient DNA in extracts prepared from charred, waterlogged and mineralized wheat seeds, and used the polymerase chain reaction to study specific genetic regions of the ancient DNA preserved in Triticum spelta from Danebury, UK and T. Dicoccum from Greece. They discuss future developments in the biomolecular archaeology of wheat, including the possibility of a genetic test that may enable tetraploid and hexaploid wheat remains to be distinguished by ancient DNA analysis
