BARLEY: translation

(latin HORDEUM SPP)

   This is one of the cereal plants, along with wheat and emmer, native to the Fertile Crescent. These plants were domesticated in the Neolithic periodand could be grown with dry farming methods. Since barley is more salt tolerant than wheat, it became the most important staple grain in the irrigationbased Mesopotamian agriculture. It was sown at the onset of winter in carefully prepared plowed fields in straight rows and harvested in spring, between April and May. ASumeriantext known as the Farmers Almanac gives detailed instructions of the main stages involved in cultivation, from the calculation of how much seed to use per surface available to the manpower and animal traction that was required. Barley was consumed as bread and gruel and in the form of beer. Since it was cultivated on a large scale on behalf of the “great organizations,” the templesand palaces, the surplus was administered centrally and distributed in the form of rations. Barley was so integral to the Mesopotamian economythat it served as a commodity and means of payment.
