EN Broomcorn millet Panicum miliaceum L. has been an important staple crop and belongs to the earliest domesticated plants. The oldest archaeological finds of this species came from China, suggesting that this was a place of its domestication. In Poland, there were a few findings of this cereal from the Neolithic, although its presence in its chronological layers were not confirmed by radiocarbon dating results. On the contrary, in the light of new AMS dating results, broomcorn millet appeared in Poland around the XV century BC, mainly in the context of the Trzciniec culture. Numerous finds of Panicum miliaceum remains were detected in two archaeological sites from southern Poland of the Lusatian culture: Janowice, site 106-65-61, and Witów, site 12. The AMS dating results showed that the preserved specimens, dated to XIV-XII century BC, belong to the group of oldest finds of the mentioned species at the sites of the Lusatian culture. These data are very important for understanding the history and spread of broomcorn millet in prehistory. In addition, new finds will also be presented in the context of other plant macro-remains from the two above-mentioned archaeological sites.
