Understanding late medieval farming practices
During the preventive archaeological excavation in the cellar of the site of petite Rue des Bouchers in the historical centre of Brussels (Belgium), the waterlogged remains of a thirteenth century AD sunken byre (potstal) were discovered. The exceptional preservation instigated a multiproxy approach, including micro-archaeology, micromorphology, phytolith and endoparasite egg analysis on thin sections, palynology and the study of plant macroremai…
An in situ and morphometric study of maize (Zea mays L.) cob rondel phytoliths from Southwestern North American landraces
International Code for Phytolith Nomenclature (ICPN) 2.0
BACKGROUND: Opal phytoliths (microscopic silica bodies produced in and between the cells of many plants) are a very resilient, often preserved type of plant microfossil. With the exponentially growing number of phytolith studies, standardization of phytolith morphotype names and description is essential. As a first effort in standardization, the International Code for Phytolith Nomenclature 1.0 was published by the ICPN Working Group in Annals of…
Advances in Morphometrics in Archaeobotany
Morphometric analysis offers an alternative or augmentation to traditional archaeobotanical methods to address differences within and between plant species and their remains, refining and enhancing taxonomic resolution. Morphometrics, the measurement of size and shape, and the multivariate statistical analysis of generated quantitative variables, have long played a major role in biological research, including plant taxonomy and systematics, altho…
A study of phytoliths produced by selected native plant taxa commonly used by Great Basin Native Americans
An integrated micromorphological and phytolith study of urban soils and sediments from the Gallo‐Roman town Atuatuca Tungrorum, Belgium
Tongeren is the only Roman administrative capital within the borders of present‐day Belgium. It developed in the first century A.D. and became an important civitas . Many excavations in the center of town have uncovered complex stratigraphic sequences, including dark earths, dating to Roman as well as early medieval times. Their interpretation, based on traditional archaeological methods, often remains problematic. A large‐scale excavation at Ver…
Early Middle Ages Houses of Gien (France) from the Inside
At Gien (France), indoor floors from early Middle Ages occupation (8th–10th c. AD) are very well preserved, providing a new reference for archaeological investigation in northern France. This site is located on an outcrop, 20 m above the Loire valley, where a 15th c. castle stands now. The medieval occupation combines high-status houses with crafting and agricultural areas. They constitute a new urban nucleus, which grew 2 km east from an ancient…
Revealing a 5,000-y-old beer recipe in China
The pottery vessels from the Mijiaya site reveal, to our knowledge, the first direct evidence of in situ beer making in China, based on the analyses of starch, phytolith, and chemical residues. Our data reveal a surprising beer recipe in which broomcorn millet ( Panicum miliaceum ), barley ( Hordeum vulgare ), Job’s tears ( Coix lacryma-jobi ), and tubers were fermented together. The results indicate that people in China established advanced beer…
A morphometric study of variance in articulated dendritic phytolith wave lobes within selected species of Triticeae and Aveneae
Morphometric analysis of phytoliths
Phytoliths as a tool for investigations of agricultural origins and dispersals around the world
Beyond redundancy and multiplicity. Integrating phytolith analysis and micromorphology to the study of Brussels Dark Earth
Differentiating the Volcaniform Phytoliths of Bananas
Banana phytoliths are considered a suitable tool in archaeology to track the history of the human populations involved in banana cultivation and dispersal throughout the tropical world. This study is confined to an initial investigation of the species Musa acuminata Colla and of its edible diploid and triploid derivatives. Slight morphological and/or morphometrical differences of the volcaniform phytoliths can be expected because of the very comp…
Differentiating banana phytoliths
Morphometric Analysis of Inflorescence Phytoliths Produced by Avena sativa L. and Avena strigosa Schreb
International Code for Phytolith Nomenclature 1.0
BACKGROUND: Phytoliths (microscopic opal silica particles produced in and between the cells of many plants) are a very resilient, often-preserved type of microfossil and today, phytolith analysis is widely used in palaeoenvironmental studies, botany, geology and archaeology. To date there has been little standardization in the way phytoliths are described and classified. SCOPE: This paper presents the first International Code for Phytolith Nomenc…
Ptolemaic Agriculture, “Syrian Wheat”, and Triticum aestivum
Identifying inflorescence phytoliths from selected species of wheat ( Triticum monococcum, T. dicoccon, T. dicoccoides, and T. aestivum ) and barley ( Hordeum vulgare and H. spontaneum ) (Gramineae)
Analysis of microfossil silica phytoliths is becoming an increasingly important research tool for taxonomists, archaeobotanists, and paleoecologists. Expanded use of phytolith analysis by researchers is dependent upon development of phytolith systematics. In this study phytoliths produced by the inflorescence bracts from four species of wheat, Triticum monoccocum , T. dicoccon , T. dicoccoides , and T. aestivum , and two species of barley, Hordeu…
