High-performance 3D morphometrics via deep learning and tabular foundation models
This study explores the integration of advanced 3D morphometric techniques and machine/deep learning (ML/DL) for the analysis of complex shapes. In this study, cereal grains were employed to develop a series of complex 3D classification tasks, aiming to improve previous 2D-based classifications of barley grain origins, type, and landrace. Traditional geometric morphometric methods in archaeobotany, typically reliant on 2D data, are expanded here …
Archaeobotanical Data from Serdica
This paper reports, in two Comma-Separated Values (.CSV) spreadsheets, the primary archaeobotanical (carpological) dataset resulting from two consecutive development-led excavation campaigns (2019 and 2020), conducted by the Regional History Museum of Sofia at the grounds of 35 Ekzarh Yosif Str., Sofia, Bulgaria. The plant material was recovered from sedimentary flotation samples of the ancient town of Serdica and is dated to the Late Roman and L…

Coastal Landscapes at Palaikastro, Eastern Crete, from the Late Neolithic to the Bronze Age and Historical Periods
Past grapes, present insights
The cultivation and uses of Vitis vinifera L. (grapevine) during the Roman period are known from both ancient sources and archaeobotany, in which various methods have been used to distinguish between wild and domesticated subspecies. The present analysis uses Geometric Modern Morphometrics (GMM), taking as a case study the Roman town of Iesso (modern Guissona, Catalonia, Spain) to shed new light to these issues. Five wells dated from the first ce…
Woodlands, tree management, and fuel economy in Bronze Age eastern Crete
Triticum timopheevii s.l. (‘new glume wheat’) finds in regions of southern and eastern Europe across space and time
Triticum timopheevii sensu lato (‘new glume wheat’, NGW) was first recognised as a distinct prehistoric cereal crop through work on archaeobotanical finds from Neolithic and Bronze Age sites in northern Greece. This was later followed by its identification in archaeobotanical assemblages from other parts of Europe. This paper provides an overview of the currently known archaeobotanical finds of Timopheev’s wheat in southeastern and eastern Europe…
Tracing culinary practices in the western provinces of the Roman Empire using Organic Residue Analysis
This study aims at reconstructing foodways in the north-east (NE) of the Iberian Peninsula, focusing on lipid residue analysis of utilitarian vessels and using as case studies the sites of Puig Castellar of Biosca (180-120 BCE) and Guissona (120 BCE-third century CE). In total, fifty vessel fragments of different types and origins were analysed with techniques such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) and gas chromatography-combustion-…
Archaeobotanical and Zooarchaeological (Large Mammal Bone, Shell and Fish Remains) Data from the ‘Palace and Landscape at Palaikastro’ (Palap) Excavation Project, Crete, Greece
The dataset presented here includes four .csv files with primary archaeobotanical, large mammal bone, mollusc and fish remains data, recovered during the PALAP project at Palaikastro, east Crete, Greece, between 2013 and 2015. The data describe bioarchaeological remains from the south-east sector of the Bronze Age town at Palaikastro, recovered with systematic sampling and employing flotation, dry-sieving and hand collection. All remains were ide…
Food and culture
The archaeology of food has increasingly attracted scholarly attention, encompassing a diverse set of data and approaches with immense potential to speak of the collective-often untold-stories of everyday choices, sustaining not only the physical, but also the social individual through time. While the two books under review are both part of this ever-expanding field, investigating food and foodways of the past, they are quite distinct in their sc…
Mediterranean polyculture revisited
This paper examines agriculture, farming and dietary resources in east Crete, and re-evaluates the role of grape and olive in its prehistoric economy, these being key in debates on the emergence of social complexity. To do so bioarchaeological, paleoenvironmental and landscape survey data from the Bronze Age town at Palaikastro and its territory are combined. The results indicate a highly compartmentalised landscape, including intensive crop cult…
Plant gathering and people-environment interactions at Epipalaeolithic Kharaneh IV, Jordan
Plant resources and subsistence in the Late Minoan mountain 'villa' at Zominthos, Crete
People and plant entanglements at the dawn of agricultural practice in Greece. An analysis of the Mesolithic and early Neolithic archaeobotanical remains
Re-analysis of archaeobotanical remains from pre- and early agricultural sites provides no evidence for a narrowing of the wild plant food spectrum during the origins of agriculture in southwest Asia
Archaeobotanical evidence from southwest Asia is often interpreted as showing that the spectrum of wild plant foods narrowed during the origins of agriculture, but it has long been acknowledged that the recognition of wild plants as foods is problematic. Here, we systematically combine compositional and contextual evidence to recognise the wild plants for which there is strong evidence of their deliberate collection as food at pre-agricultural an…
The discovery of the earliest specialised Middle Neolithic pottery workshop in western Thessaly, central Greece
Disparity in recorded Neolithic activity between the eastern and western Thessaly plain in central Greece is being redressed by the ‘Long Time No See’ landscape project. A recently discovered pottery kiln complex at Magoula Rizava tell site offers exciting new evidence for intra-regional pottery production and circulation during the Middle Neolithic period

Reconstructing the Roman London flavourscape
Using archaeobotanical data and examining them with a novel combination of density interpolation surfaces and social and spatial network analyses, this study has brought together exotic food plants in Roman London to outline the changing ‘face’ of its flavourscape, and contextualise it within the broader exotics commerce in Britannia. Consumption of a variety of exotics appeared to be widespread since the very first stages of London's establishme…

Archaeobotany in Greece
This paper provides a brief overview of the history and main achievements of archaeobotanical work in Greece to date, with the aim of highlighting its potential and creating a framework in which future work can be contextualized. The term “archaeobotany” is used here in its narrow sense, referring to the study of plant macroremains, such as seeds, fruits and other plant parts, and excluding charcoal studies or “anthracology” and analyses of micro…
Date, Rituals and Socio‐Cultural Identity in the North‐Western R oman Provinces
This article explores issues of socio‐cultural identity in the north‐western R oman provinces, using all the available archaeobotanical evidence of date ( P hoenix dactylifera L .). This fruit does not conform to the general social distribution pattern of other R oman exotic food plant imports in this area, but instead indicates a strong ceremonial connection. Through an in‐depth contextual approach the role of date in both domestic and ceremonia…
The Archaeobotany of Medieval Britain (c ad 450–1500)
BOTANICAL DATA FROM EXCAVATIONS are one of several sources of evidence that can be brought to bear on studies of medieval agriculture, food, diet, trade and environment. Reliable reconstructions of these aspects of medieval life are dependent on the quality of the datasets currently available for study. Here these are assessed and lacunae highlighted. The focus lies on sites where macro-remains of food and agricultural products have been found (e…

The Archaeobotanical Evidence of the Late Bronze Age and Protogeometric Occupation Under the Roman Villa Dionysus, Knossos, Crete, and an Overview of the Protogeometric Data of Greece
Archaeobotanical material was collected from the Bronze Age fill and the Protogeometric phases underneath the Roman Villa Dionysus, Knossos, Crete. The Bronze Age assemblage was poor, representing only accidental intrusions to a tight fill of sherds and stones. The Protogeometric data were more plentiful, providing a rare glimpse into the everyday life of the period. Glume wheat, barley, legumes, fruits, nuts and several wild species were present…
Knossos, the Little Palace North Project, Part I
This article is the first of a series presenting the results of two seasons of excavation (2001 and 2002) at the Little Palace North site, Knossos. The excavation was aimed at the exploration of the exposed earth section directly north of the Little Palace, prior to the construction of a drystone wall which was to protect this section from further erosion. While limited in extent, the excavation provided an opportunity to increase our understandi…
