"Radioactive dating of the 59 grains of carbonised rice has pushed back the date for the earliest known cultivation of the plant."

How can they tell if it was cultivated rather than gathered?

i don't know, really. :) maybe rice is just one of those things that you don't see around unless it is cultivated?
