Botanically, barleys represent a separate genus of the grass (Poaceae) family with total number of 45 taxa. This study describes the history of barley domestication and barley spread in the Old Word at the end of the last ice age and during the Holocene, especially from an archaeobotanical point of view. The spread of Hordeum spontaneum and domestication conditions in the Near East and other regions of the Old World are described. The study then pays attention to a so-called Neolithic package with respect to morphological domestication of barley in the territory of the Near East and spread of this plant in southeastern Europe. Description is based mainly on archaeobotanical evidence of gathering and growing, minor attention is also paid to barley genetic aspects.
