Abstract Aim This study intends to improve our understanding of historical biogeography olive domestication in the Mediterranean Basin, particularly north‐western area. Location Investigations were performed simultaneously on stones from extant wild populations, cultivated varieties various countries, and archaeological assemblages Spanish, French Italian settlements. Methods A combination morphometrics (traditional geometrical) allowed us both size shape endocarp structure. Concerning...
Societal Impact Statement Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems food production. Such efforts benefit from traditional historical knowledge crop plants' evolutionary cultural trajectories. This review a first attempt at systematically gauging species representativeness in studies archaeological...
The littoral site of Ifri Oudadane is one the most important recently excavated sites in Mediterranean Maghreb. shelter presents Epipalaeolithic and Neolithic layers therefore offers possibility to investigate transition region. Besides introducing archaeological context, this paper focuses on palaeobotanical data order reconstruct Holocene environmental change human use plant resources for period c. 11 5.7 ka cal. BP. Results show intense landscape transformations resulting from anthropic...
This paper presents ethnographic, historic and archaeological data from the western Mediterranean in order to explore variability of storage methods various strategies that may have existed past this region. The includes ethnographic information on traditional collected farming communities northern Morocco (Rif area). We record use plant fibres such as canes (Arundo donax), dwarf palm (Chamaerops humilis), esparto grass (Stipa tenacissima) dis (Ampelodesmos mauritanica) make containers....
Abstract Precipitation has been of utmost importance in shaping the evolution landscapes and human settlements Mediterranean. However, information on seasonal precipitation patterns through Holocene is scarce. This study attempts to quantify East Iberian Peninsula (5000 BC AD 600) based carbon isotope composition (δ 13 C) archaeobotanical remains. Data Holm oak, Aleppo pine small‐grain cereals were combined, was inferred from models relating present‐day records δ C modern samples....
The European shores of the Mediterranean are characterised by well-known sociocultural and economic dynamics during Bronze Early Iron Ages (2200–550 BC), but our understanding African is comparatively vague. Here, authors present results from excavations at Kach Kouch, Morocco, revealing an occupation phase 2200–2000 cal BC, followed a stable settlement c . 1300–600 BC wattle daub architecture, farming economy, distinctive cultural practices extensive connections. Kouch underscores agency...
El denominado Cerro del Cercado, cuenta con un enorme potencial para el conocimiento de aspectos tales como la estructura hábitat, modos vida y bases económicas las sociedades Neolítico antiguo en Alta Andalucía. En él se revela existencia una particular arquitectura interna, disposiciones a base bloques piedra, agujeros calzos poste, así estructuras negativas modo fosas cubetas. La cultura material destaca por su riqueza variedad, cerámicas impresas, incisas almagra, productos líticos...
Abstract In this study we present evidence of braided plant fibres and basketry imprints on clay recovered from Coves de Santa Maira, a Palaeolithic-Mesolithic cave site located in the Mediterranean region Spain. The anatomical features these organic fibre remains were identified archaeological material compared with modern Stipa tenacissima (esparto grass). Based direct dating, fragments esparto cord our are oldest worked Europe. Sixty fired described. impressions have allowed us to discuss...
The introduction of the cultivation millets (Panicum miliaceum and Setaria italica) along Iberia’s Mediterranean zone appears to stem from different origins which themselves hinged on their own specific historical developments. earliest traces in northeast, presumably trans-Pyrenean origin, were brought light Bronze Age contexts (13th century BC) Western Catalonia, notably Cinca River Valley. species southern eastern Iberia, by contrast, come later 10th–8th BC under Phoenician influence....
