【拡散希望です】初代門司駅関連遺構群を助けて下さい。研究者としての私は無力ですが、学術界が国指定史跡相当と認めた世界遺産級の遺跡、門司の、北九州の、日本の、東アジアの、そして世界の宝、苦しみと喜びの歴史の体現が破壊されることを座視できません。

While we found evidence that millet was indeed being processed for culinary purposes, the frequency of millet-specific biomarker (miliacin) was much lower than what one would expect if millet was dominantly used. This is strikingly different from what we observe in Korea.

We also found even less evidence for the (exclusive) processing of rice. If present at all, rice must have been mixed with animal products
