Recovery of chloroplast genomes from medieval millet grains excavated from the Areni-1 cave in southern ArmeniaPanicum miliaceum L. was domesticated in northern China at least 7000 years ago and was subsequentially adopted in many areas throughout Eurasia. One such locale is Areni-1 an archaeological cave site in Southern Armenia, where vast quantities archaeobotanical material were well preserved via desiccation.
