• Early Holocene cultivation before domestication in northern Syria (2008, background): “These have been found in levels commonly referred to as early PPNB at the sites of Nevalı Çori, Tell el Kerkh, Cayönü and Cafer Hüyök, but wild types persist (Tanno and Willcox 2006a, b; Pasternak 1998; van Zeist and de Roller 1994; de Moulins 1997).”
• Breeding and genomics status in faba bean ( Vicia faba ) (2018, background): “Archaeological findings at Tell El ‐ Kerkh, north ‐ west Syria, indicate a date of origin for faba bean domestication during the late 10th millennium BC (Tanno & Willcox, 2006).”
• The Neolithic Southwest Asian Founder Crops (2011, background): “A few of these seeds are somewhat larger and plumper than the wild progenitor, and the authors argue (Tanno and Willcox 2006:200) that this might indicate that they are an “intermediate stage” between wild and domesticated chickpeas.”
• Plant Domestication and Crop Evolution in the Near East: On Events and Processes (2012, background): “As for chickpea, the earliest evidence for the domesticated type is meager and originates from just a handful of sites such as Cayonu (Van Zeist and de Roller, 1991 /2); Nevali Cori (Pasternak, 1998 ); and possibly Djade too (note in Tanno and Willcox, 2006 b), all within the core area (Lev-Yadun”
• A note on the evolution of kabuli chickpeas as shown by induced mutations in Cicer reticulatum Ladizinsky (2009, background): “Tanno and Willcox (2006) showed that there were larger seeds than the others and morphological variations among the carbonized seeds of the progenitor C. reticulatum.”
• Geographic distribution and domestication of wild emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccoides) (2010, background): “Wheat was among the first crops to be domesticated between c. 12,000 and c. 10,000 years ago (dates are given in before present calibrated years) in the Fertile Crescent (Nesbitt and Samuel 1996; Tanno and Willcox 2006a).”
• Genetic Diversity and Population Structure of Ethiopian Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) Germplasm Accessions from Different Geographical Origins as Revealed by Microsatellite Markers (2012, background): “Archeological evidences also suggest that chickpea was first domesticated in Turkey before the late Neolithic period (as early as 3,500 BC; Tanno and Willcox 2006).”
• Legume Crops Phylogeny and Genetic Diversity for Science and Breeding (2015, background): “The earliest archeological remains of chickpea (10th millennium BP) were discovered within (Pasternak, 1998; van Zeist and de Roller, 1991, 1992) or close (Tanno and Willcox, 2006) to the current distribution of C. reticulatum in south-east Anatolia (Berger et al., 2003).”
• The Origins of Agriculture in the Near East (2011, background): “Additional evidence for the late or at least delayed appearance of morphologically domestic cereals in the Near East is provided by Tanno and Willcox (2006a), who document the gradual increase in the proportion of tough-rachis domestic morphotypes among wheat and barley recovered from sites in the…”
