The researchers found ingestion of the purple nut sedge in both pre-agricultural and agricultural periods.

They suggest that the plant’s ability to inhibit Streptococcus mutans - a bacterium which contributes to tooth decay, may have contributed to the unexpectedly low level of cavaties found in the agricultural population.

Dr Stephen Buckley, a Research Fellow at the University of York’s BioArCh research facility, conducted the chemical analyses.
He added: ‘The evidence for purple nut sedge was very clear in samples from all the time periods we looked at.

This plant was evidently important to the people of Al Khiday, even after agricultural plants had been introduced.’

Good find, Tyler. Purple nut sedge is related to the tiger nuts I reported on before:

"The [tiger nut aka yellow nut sedge aka chufa] tubers are edible, with a slightly sweet, nutty flavour, compared to the more bitter-tasting tuber of the related Cyperus rotundus (purple nutsedge)." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyperus_esculentus
