Tm: T. monococcum, Tsp: Triticum species, Tdc: T. dicoccum, Tdm: T. durum, Ta: T. aestivum. The numbers on the right of the sample names denote the date of excavation that yielded that particular wheat sample. Patnos wheat was a museum specimen for which exact recovery date could not be determined, the other dates were provided by the excavation heads or the archaeobotanists. The species name follows archaeobotanical identification; for the Çatalhöyük samples, it is a combination of original labeling and archaeobotanical identification: E for einkorn, M for emmer. DNA ext. denotes the total number of DNA extractions performed using different methods. Positive PCRs were obtained at HMW glutenin loci. The excavation level corresponds to natural strata at the time of the systematic digging of archaeological site. These levels are counted in increasing order from top to bottom.
