9 Pathways to Animal Domestication (2012, background): “Recent analysis of lipid residues found in pottery from sites in Turkey and the Levant indicates that dairying may have been well established, especially in northwestern Anatolia, by about 8,500 calendar years ago (Evershed et al. 2008).”
On the history of cattle genetic resources (2014, background): “Isotope analyses of traces of bovine dairy fat products in ceramic remains indicate the milking of cattle by European farmers in 7500 BP in southeast [22] and northern [61] Europe and in 6000 BP in Great Britain [62].”
The Origins of Lactase Persistence in Europe (2009, background): “Recent carbon isotope ratios from lipids extracted from archaeological sherds show the presence of milk fats in present-day western Turkey and connect these findings to an increased importance of cattle herding [26,45–48].”
The Evolution of Animal Domestication (2014, background): “A subsequent statistical test of the ratio between the synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions confirmed a signature of positive selection in domestic breeds (Fang et al. 2009).”
