陕西省西安市出土2800年前小麦颗粒 将改写史学观点|西安|考古|小麦种植史_新闻资讯

　　历史课本要改？西安出土2800年前小麦颗粒

　　陕西考古人员近日对西安西周镐京遗址进行了发掘，在一个灰坑中出土了大量的小麦碳化颗粒，这是继陕西宝鸡周原先周遗址发现小麦以来，考古人员又一次在周人聚居区发现了小麦颗粒。

　　镐京遗址位于的西安长安区斗门街道办，是西周都城所在地。2016年，陕西省考古研究院对镐京遗址持续进行考古发掘，在一个西周中期用于填埋垃圾的灰坑里，考古人员发现了一批碳化的小麦颗粒，虽然距今有2800多年，但小麦颗粒形状依旧保存完好。小麦原产于西亚或阿富汗，以前在新疆和甘肃等地的史前遗址中曾经发现过少量碳化遗迹，但在沣镐遗址中发现大量颗粒状小麦还是第一次，说明至少在西周中期，小麦已经在国都镐京周围开始规模化种植。这个发现对“中国北方小麦开始广泛种植是在汉代”的传统观点提出挑战。
