The transition from hunter-gatherer culture to arable farming constitutes an important area of research in prehistoric archeology. This also applies to the question of cultivation intensity: when did people start using livestock manure to increase yields? And can it be measured on the charred kernels found at archeological excavations? A research collaboration between archeology and agroecology shows that it can be measured paving the way to find when agriculture as we know it started.
