Abstract In the context of a rapidly growing global population and significant climatic environmental change, there is an urgent need to produce nutritious food in sustainable manner. Some crops are underutilised Europe, despite their suitability local environments, viability for production potential improve diets. Rye ( Secale cereale ) has long history cultivation yet owing complex historical, socio‐cultural, socio‐political, socio‐economic agronomic factors. This paper explores...
Abstract This study proposes non-destructive assessment instrumentation, the X-ray MicroCT scanning, to evaluate archaeological basketry remains prior any destructive analysis. Three case studies are originating from two sites in Southeast Europe, with three different stages of preservation (poor, sufficient and very good). In addition, there modes—charring desiccation—along conservation situations: treated untreated agent fragments. The scenarios were chosen explore potential range scanning...
Evidence for both basket weaving and salt production is often elusive in the prehistoric archaeological record. An assemblage of Middle–Late Chalcolithic pottery from Provadia-Solnitsata Bulgaria provides insight into these two different technologies relationship between them. The authors analyse sherds vessels used large-scale production, bases which bear impression woven mats. This analysis reveals possible raw materials mat at allows interpretation role mats site. results illustrate how...
This study combines several categories of environmental remains retrieved from machine-assisted water flotation samples, originating the pit field Late Hellenistic archaeological site Sexaginta Prista (2c. BC – 1c. AD), located on River Danube in North Bulgaria. The analysis different organic remains, such as archaeobotanical macro-remains (seeds, wood charcoal and 'food crusts'), fish scales, molluscs animal bones, aims at exploring possible utilisation scenarios pits, including crop/food...
Abstract This study proposes non-destructive assessment instrumentation, being the X-ray CT scanning, for evaluation of archaeological basketry remains prior to any destructive analysis. There are three case studies, originating from two sites in South-east Europe, with different stages preservation (poor, sufficient and very good). In addition, there modes – charring desiccation along conservation situations: treated untreated agent fragments. The scenarios were chosen explore potential...
