Early use of ginger

Could someone who can please add some information on archaeological evidence of early ginger use:

Ginger starch granules have been identified in Chinese Neolithic globular jars dating to the 8th millennium BCE in association with plants assumed to be used to make an early alcoholic drink, namely broomcorn millet, Job's tears, rice, and snake gourd.
