Finding Plant Domestication in the Indian Subcontinent (2011, background): “Archaeobotanical evidence from sites of the Southern Neolithic consistently indicates the predominance of mungbean (Vigna radiata), horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum), and two millets (Brachiaria ramosa and Setaria verticillata; Fuller, Korisettar, and Venkatasubbaiah 2001; Fuller et al. 2004).”
Contrasting Patterns in Crop Domestication and Domestication Rates: Recent Archaeobotanical Insights from the Old World (2007, unknown): “…in South India of V. radiata occur in the driest savannah environments of the peninsula together with large quantities of horsegram (Macrotyloma uniflorum) and small millets (Brachiaria ramosa, Setaria verticillata), and in some cases associated with introduced domesticates (Fuller et al., 2004).”
The archaeobotany of Indian pulses: identification, processing and evidence for cultivation (2006, background): “This observation may help to explain some of the discrepancies between the quantities of Macrotyloma and Vigna encountered in most samples from South Indian Neolithic sites, in which Vigna (which is free-threshing) is much less frequent (Fuller et al. 2004).”
The occurrence and identification of Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv. (foxtail millet) grains from the Chengtoushan site (ca. 5800 cal B.P.) in central China, with reference to the domestication centre in Asia (2007, background): “Fuller et al. (2004) has found many archaeobotanical remains of S.”
