Here is a photo and a fascinating article about a seed bag dating back to about AD20 that was found in Arkansas.
The seeds are an extinct variety of domesticated chenopodium (related to quinoa) from North America. The bag is of even more interest to me because it’s whole, and it was made of yucca fiber and bast fiber from the retted inner bark of a tree, probably paw-paw. That is SO COOL.
