A 5,000-year-old barley grain discovered in Aland, southern Finland, turns researchers’ understanding of ancient Northern livelihoods upside down. New findings reveal that hunter-gatherers took to farming already 5,000 years ago in eastern Sweden, and on the Aland Islands, located on the southwest coast of Finland.

Very interesting. Perhaps in the future, archaeologists can trace where barley was first cultivated and how it reached other countries.
Thanks for sharing!
