That was what I thought until I reached this part with a link to another paper.

Charred capsules of Datura stramonium were recovered in a Middle Bronze Age ritual pit at Prats, Andorra, ca. 1600 BCE

But if it was growing in Europe at that time, wouldn't it be all over the place and be in books in the Middle Ages? Unless the Bronze Agers somehow smoked all of it.

I agree, those charred capsules might have been something else. Now I want to look at the other paper to see if there any pictures
