Abstract
The development of agricultural societies is closely entangled with that of domestic animals
and plants. Local and traditional domestic breeds and varieties are the result of millennia of
selection by farmers. DEMETER (2020-2025) is an international project which is aiming to
characterize the changes in animal and plant agrobiodiversity (pigs, sheep, goats, and barley)
in relation with environmental and socioeconomic factors in the northwestern Mediterranean
basin since the beginnings of agriculture. The project is based on a combination of approaches
including phenomics (through geometric morphometrics), databasing, zooarchaeology,
archaeobotany, climate modeling, paleoproteins (ZooMs) and statistical analyses. Several
hundreds of archaeological sites from the South of France and Catalonia will be studied,
covering the maximum environmental, societal and cultural diversity of context over the
course of the last eight millennia.

INTRODUCTION
The onset of plant and animal domestication marks a major transition in human history and a
key element in the development of modern societies (Dodson, Dong 2016; Vigne et al. 2011;
Zeder 2015). Domestication led to important changes in ecology, demography, and the social
organization of human populations (Bocquet-Appel, Bar-Yosef 2008). Domesticated plants
and animals play a pivotal role in our modern Western societies, being the primary sources of
food. However, we are now experiencing a major worldwide crisis, with losses in the diversity
of food production systems and the progressive disappearance of traditional due to the
imposition of industrial intensive farming models. Local knowledge and the farming culture
are under threat, as well as the diversity and sustainability of cultivated species, varieties and
breeds. Our current breeds and varieties are the result of never-ending artificial selection of
morphological, physiological and behavioral traits resulting from thousands of years of
human-plant-animal interactions. To date, bioarchaeological research has focused more on
the earliest stages of the domestication process, in order to trace the origins of domestic
populations, rather than on their subsequent evolution within and alongside human societies
involved in intensive and continuous relationships with them outside the “domestication
centers”. In this context, the DEMETER project (2020-2025), funded by the European Research
Council, pursues three main questions: How have domestic plants and animals changed
through time, far from their centers of origin? Which socioeconomic, cultural and
environmental transformations interacted with this agrobiodiversity? In what way was this
process achieved?
Among the many possible factors affecting the past diversity of domestic plants and animals,
it is necessary to consider the chronocultural and socioeconomic context (e.g., household
production, long/short distance trade networks), the geography (e.g., topology, distance to
the coast) (Alonso, BoubY 2017), the type of site (e.g., open- air, urban, rural, etc.), its function
(i.e., main activities, specialization) (Bréhard et al. 2010) and the prevailing environmental
parameters, such as climate (Arbogast et al. 2006). However, a holistic approach to
disentangle the respective roles of these factors in shaping ancient agrobiodiversity has not
yet been undertaken. Here we will present our overall objective and the three main
methodological approaches, i.e., geometric morphometrics, paleoclimatic modeling and
databasing that have been implemented during the first year of the project, in addition to
progress on current research.
THE NORTHWESTERN OCCIDENTAL MEDITERRANEAN BASIN
DEMETER is focused on the Northwestern Occidental Mediterranean basin (southern France
and Catalonia), i.e., outside the core domestication area of the selected species. Several
reasons make this an excellent area for investigating the different parameters that may have
contributed towards the development of new breeds and varieties : various socioeconomic
dynamics (e.g., agricultural strategies, exchanges between populations, selection), long
chrono- logy, large number of archaeological settlements with various functions and status
(e.g., rural, urban sites) and rich environmental contexts, since the region hosts varied
geography including littoral plains, mountains, valleys, lagoons and deltaic areas. Moreover,
the climatic evolution of the Mediterranean basin during the Holocene has been well
described (Azuara et al. 2015; Frigola et al. 2007; Jalali et al. 2016; Sabatier et al. 2012). This
region has a rich and complex history that cannot be easily synthesized. Six major chronocultural periods nevertheless emerge (fig. 1). The first being the Neolithic (5,850-2,300 BC).
The Northwestern Occidental Mediterranean basin witnessed the arrival of the

Mediterranean stream of Neolithic expansion through the impressed ware cultural complex,
which influenced inland Europe ; received continental influences during the Bronze Age
(2,300-750 BC) ; developed considerably in the Iron Age (750-50 BC), entering into contact
with Phoenicians, Greek and Etruscan populations before Roman colonization and the
foundation of large cities ; it underwent the deconstruction of the Roman Empire (ca 480 AD),
the arrival of the Visigoths and the subsequent Islamic conquest, both of whom contributed
to its prosperity during the Middle Ages (480-1,492 AD), while important trade routes across
the Mediterranean and northern Europe became increasingly integrated (Wickham 2005) with
such developments continuing during the Modern period (1,492- 1,800 AD). Thus far, no
regional synthesis of the evolution of the targeted species and diachronic changes in
cultivation and husbandry practices has yet covered the large time span selected by DEMETER.
However, a relatively large amount of grey literature (i.e., site reports, monographs) has been
produced and provides essential information about the changes that occurred during specific
time periods or a specific focus on a single species (e.g., cattle during historic periods; Forest,
Rodet-Belarbi 2002). By the end of the project, DEMETER should include the study of at least
100 archaeological sites spread across the last eight millennia (fig. 1).

SHEEP, GOATS, PIGS AND BARLEY
We focus on a series of species domesticated during the Neolithic that spread into Western
Europe along with the first farming communities as part of the Neolithic package, together
with agricultural practices, ceramic pro- duction, increases in storage activities and
sedentariness, and marked demographic expansion (Bocquet-Appel, Bar-Yosef 2008). The
selected model species are of major economic importance today and have been continuously
valued in the region: sheep (Ovis aries), goats (Capra hircus), pigs (Sus scrofa), and barley
(Hordeum vulgare).
In general, sheep have been the dominant mammalian species found among archaeological
remains from the final Neolithic until today (e.g., Antolín et al. 2018; Nieto-Espinet et al. 2021;
Saña et al. 2020), with some exceptions, such as those sites showing a particularly large
predominance of goats (e.g., medieval sites in a borough of Montpellier; Fabre et al. 2002).
Sheep and goats have been among the main domestic mammals (with pigs and cattle) of the
Mediterranean since the Neolithic and are the two inseparable emblematic species of the
Mediterranean basin landscapes. They have the advantage that their wild ancestors (i.e., the
Asian mouflon [Ovis orientalis] and the bezoar ibex [Capra aegagrus], respectively) are absent
from Europe, making taxonomic identifications easier. The earliest known evidence of
morphological modifications linked with domestication were identified ~10,500 years ago in
the Upper Euphrates basin (Peters et al. 2005). The two species are morphologically close, but
several studies have confir- med a clear differentiation based on metrical (Salvagno, Albarella
2017) and macroscopic (e.g., Gillis et al. 2011) analyses of bones and teeth.
Pigs were consumed at all times, but their remains are rare in the Neolithic and become
abundant during the Roman Empire (50 BC-480 AD; Forest 2000; Nieto-Espinet et al. 2021),
likely linked with the social differentiation of consumers (Forest 2009). Pig is certainly the
species whose history of domestication is best known from archaeological remains and has
been the subject of many studies. Pigs were domesticated from the wild boar, which naturally
occurs in Europe, and makes the identification of wild and domestic archaeological specimens
particularly challenging (Albarella et al. 2006). Nonetheless, recent geometric morphometric
studies have allowed traditional identifications to be refined (Evin et al. 2013). Additionally,
pigs have been the subject of numerous bioarchaeological studies over the last decade (e.g.,
Duval et al. 2015 ; Evin et al. 2015b ; Krause-Kyora et al. 2013 ; Larson et al. 2007 ; Ottoni
2012).
Domestic barley is divided into two morphological types: two-rowed (subsp. distichum) and
six-rowed (subsp. vulgare) barley, which both include naked and hulled forms (Zohary et al.
2012). Barley has been one of the main cereals in Mediterranean agriculture since the
Neolithic, and a major element of both human and animal diets. Carbonized grains are
commonly found in archaeological sites (Zohary et al. 2012) from all periods. Barley is found
from the Neolithic to Modern times in the study region. Two-row and six-row varieties have
been identified, as well as lax-eared and dense-eared forms, and naked and hulled types.
Naked 6-row barley was important in the Neolithic, being replaced by hulled 6-row barley
from the 3rd/2nd millennium cal. BC onwards. This species becomes of major importance in
regional agriculture from the end of the Bronze Age (ca 1,400-750 BC). Two-row barley is
present in the early Neolithic but it remains undetected in later periods until Roman times
(Alonso, Bouby 2017; Antolín et al. 2015; Antolín, Buxó 2012; Bouby 2001; 2014; Ros 2020).
Barley is used for many purposes, and adapts to more environmental conditions than most
wheat species.

A MULTI-METHODOLOGICAL APPROACH
The project is based on a combination of approaches, including phenomics (through geometric
morphometrics), databasing, zooarchaeology, archaeobotany, climate modeling,
paleoproteins (ZooMs) and statistical analyses.
Geometric morphometrics
Recent methodological advances in geometric morpho- metrics (i.e., the study of forms in
multi-dimensional spaces allowing in-depth investigation of morphological change) (Rohlf,
Marcus 1993), allow us to address questions regarding the micro-evolutionary processes that
accompanied the long history of domestic species in an unprecedented way. Geometric
morphometrics (GMM) is increasingly used for bioarchaeological studies in order to track
differences between diachronic populations (Bouby et al. 2020; Cucchi et al. 2014; Ottoni et
al. 2013; Pagnoux et al. 2021; Price, Evin 2017; Terral et al. 2004), domestication signatures
(Bonhomme et al. 2020; Cucchi et al. 2011; Evin et al. 2013; Evin et al. 2015b), or husbandry
practices (Bopp-Ito et al. 2018; Duval et al. 2015; Duval et al. 2018; Price, Evin 2017).
Geometric morphometrics provide highly resolutive tools to quantify and analyze
morphometric variation, which pick up from the previous traditional bio- metric analyses and
are applied to archaeological plant and animal remains to investigate domestication and the
morphometric variation of domestic populations (Bouby et al. 2013; Evin et al. 2013; Evin et
al. 2015b; Ottoni et al. 2013; Ros et al. 2014; Terral et al. 2010; Terral et al. 2004). Moreover,
morphometric analyses are often the only available approach with sufficient fine-scale
resolution, suffer less from preservation limitations than other approaches (e.g., aDNA,
isotopes) and can be carried out on a large scale in a non-destructive manner. We have a
relatively good understanding of the morphological changes that took place at the early stages
of the domestication process in the near-eastern center (e.g., Colledge, Conolly 2007; Conolly
et al. 2011; Vigne et al. 2005; Zeder 2006; Zeder et al. 2006), but how domesticated
populations evolved and diversified after the initial steps and outside the “domestication
centers” remains largely unknown, due to the lack of large-scale diachronic studies. During
the evolution of domesticates, local environmental and anthropic contexts will have led to
subtle differences in the morphology of the populations (Balasse et al. 2016). Thus, DEMETER
seeks to precisely quantify this morphological variation using cutting-edge geometric
morphometric approaches.
The teeth of mammals and charred cereal grains have the advantage of being well preserved
in archaeological assemblages, in comparison to other types of remains. In addition, they are
frequently found in large numbers and are known to be taxonomically informative, and
protocols and modern specimens of known taxonomy (species, breed/ variety, wild/domestic
status) are already available (Burger et al. 2011; Cucchi et al. 2011; Larson et al. 2007; Terral
et al. 2010). Therefore, pig, sheep and goat teeth and barley grains will be primarily used as
phenotypic markers. The link between human selection and mammal tooth morphology is not
yet well understood, but previous work on wild and domestic pigs revealed strong tooth shape
differences between wild and domestic populations, as well as strong differences between
wild populations as well as marked differences between domestic breeds (Evin et al. 2015a).
Thus, this work demonstrated the power of geometric morphometrics when applied to tooth
morphology to quantify fine-scale differences. This link between human selection and
morphology is more straightforward for cereal grains, since they were directly targeted for
food production, even if their shape was not likely the target of selection itself. For cereals, an
additional constraint comes from the taphonomic preservation of the remains, which are

usually found carbonized. Charring can significantly modify the size and shape of the grain
(Boardman, Jones 1990; Bonhomme et al. 2017; Braadbaart 2008; Ros et al. 2014).
Nevertheless, it has already been demonstrated that carbonization is not detrimental to the
discrimination of two-rowed and six- rowed hulled barley grain shapes (Ros et al. 2014). The
size and shape of the cereal grains are quantified using outline analyses (Bonhomme et al.
2014; Kuhl, Giardina 1982; Mayer et al. 1998, fig. 2A), while the teeth and mandibles of
mammals are quantified using outline, landmark and sliding semi-landmark based approaches
(fig. 2B). Because the use of geometric morphometrics requires specific computational and
analytical training, we will ultimately develop an expert system (a computer knowledge-based
system), based on geometric morphometric techniques, aiming at fostering morphometric
analysis of archaeological remains to study domesticated species. Tooth measurements are
based on a landmark and sliding semi-landmark geometric morphometric approach (fig. 2B).
Pig teeth are measured following Evin et al. (2013), while new geometric morphometric
protocols have been established for measuring sheep and goat teeth and mandibles (fig. 2B),
and repeatability tests performed (following Evin et al. 2020). Initial work has focused
morphometric differences between modern sheep and goats (Jeanjean et al. in prep.), which
can now be used to identify archaeological specimens before exploring the spatiotemporal
variation of the two species. In parallel, linear measurements from a maximum number of
sites are also analyzed.
The evolution of barley is studied using both archaeological seeds and a reference collection
of seeds from 58 modern varieties from France. Because archaeological seeds are mainly
preserved charred, fresh barley seeds are being charred to allow a more realistic comparison.
Based on the literature (Bonhomme et al. 2017; Charles et al. 2015; Ros et al. 2014; Styring et
al. 2013) and numerous preliminary experiments, modern samples are charred for 3 h 30 in
an anoxic environment and a temperature of 240 °C. Morphometric analyses are based on
automatic extraction of outline point coordinates from a black and white mask of the original
photograph of the grain (fig. 2A). The next line of research will involve the study of grains from
archaeological sites of different chrono-cultural phases.

Climate reconstruction and modeling
Climate is certainly a determining factor, through natural selection, in the evolution of breeds
and landraces, as exemplified by the presence of traditionally small, stocky and heavy-headed
horses in the colder north compared to Arabian horses living in hot and arid regions, which
possess fine heads, long and slender legs, each being thus adapted to their local environments
(Clutton-Brock 2012). Climate changes can be reconstructed quantitatively from fossil pollen
data obtained from sediment cores using several methods (review in Chevalier et al. 2020).
Here, quantitative climate reconstruction of seasonal and annual tempera- tures are obtained
using three independent mathematical methods: (i) the Modern Analogue Technique (Guiot
1990), (ii) the Weighted Average Partial Least Square regression (Ter Braak, Juggins 1993) and,
for the first time for the Mediterranean area, (iii) Boosted Regression Trees (Salonen et al.
2014). This multi-method approach is applied to approximately 20 pollen records from the
studied area with satisfactory age controls and aggregated to reconstruct past climate
changes over the last 10,000 yrs. This classical approach (Davis et al. 2003) optimizes the
signal-to-noise ratio to provide reliable climate values at the regional scale, and is potentially
less sensitive to biases such as the impact of human activities on the vegetation and thus the
pollen assemblages. Future research will include a new paleoclimatology proxy: the Branched
Glycerol Dialkyl Glyceryl Tetraethers (brGDGTs), which offers new perspectives on continental
temperature reconstructions (Martin et al. 2020).
Databasing
Archaeology has a long tradition in databasing, as a way for gathering, updating and managing
(Corboud 2002) all the artifacts and information recorded during an excavation in a lasting
fashion. The analysis of a large number of sites and specimens requires the establishment of
carefully designed and rigorously maintained databases. For each archaeological site and
occupation level, the following information is specifically recorded: geography (latitude,
longitude, and altitude) and environment (e.g., mountain, low land, etc.); archaeology:
chrono-cultural information, relative dating, absolute dating, type (e.g., open-air) and function
of the site (e.g., sheepfold-caves, funerary sites, etc.). For each site and occupation level, we
review the published and grey literature, including archaeobotanical and archaeozoological
data to register the human food spectrum and the relative importance of the species in the
local economy. In addition, available osteometric measurements and mortality profiles are
recorded. During the first year of the project, carpological, zooarchaeological and
archaeological files have been collected and rigorously formatted, and are now ready to be
analyzed. In future, all databases will be integrated into an open-source relational database
(PostgreSQL) including a geographic information system (GIS).
CONCLUSION
DEMETER aims to test the following hypotheses : 1) the diversity of ancient domesticates has
varied non-linearly through time and space, with periods of homogenization and periods of
diversification, 2) human selection for desired traits is associated with other forces acting on
domesticated species and contributing to shape many aspects of their morphology, 3) the
influence of human and environmental factors in the domesticated species has varied in time
and space, according to cultural and biological conditions, 4) domestication is a complex
biological and cultural process during which each species follows its own path. This paves the
way for the exploration of fundamental changes in farmed animals and crops, in connection
Mise en page pour HAL : Jérôme Ros
to different, past rural communities and their evolution under new farming practices in a given
geographic area.
This multi-disciplinary project will provide a better understanding of the resilience of
agrobiodiversity in an ever-changing socioeconomic and environmental world. Furthermore,
we will be able to increase awareness of the risks associated with current policies, which lead
towards highly specialized, homogeneous and centralized production, and a greater
disconnection between human populations and domestic plants and animals.
