Restitutio Ab Initio
Recovering archaeobotanical remains from archaeological contexts often entails substantial methodological challenges. Flotation and environmental sampling routinely yield charred seeds whose cultural attribution does not necessarily correspond to the stratigraphic position or inferred chronology of the deposits in which they occur. Direct radiocarbon dating frequently exposes marked discrepancies, demonstrating that intrusive seeds may derive fro…
Managing crops under hydroclimatic instability before the 5.9 ka event
This paper presents new stable isotope data from charred cereal grains and Chenopodium album seeds recovered from the Kodjadermen-Gumelniţa-Karanovo VI (KGK VI) (second half of the 5th millennium BC) settlement of Sultana in southeastern Romania, alongside comparative material from the nearby site of Gumelnița. This period coincides with mid-Holocene climatic instability in the lower Danube region (c. late 5th–early 4th millennium BC), frequently…
On the body mass of Cantabrian brown bears
This Comment addresses a data attribution issue and a critical methodological error in Fidalgo et al. (2025) concerning Holocene body size trends in Cantabrian brown bears. A miscalculated specimen leads to a misinterpretation of the timing of size reduction, which, based on available data, appears to have occurred only in historical times. Correcting this error and properly acknowledging previous research are essential for an accurate understand…
Exploring the acid-insoluble shell organic matrix of freshwater mussels (Unionoida) as a proxy for palaeodietary and paleoenvironmental studies
The shells of freshwater mussels, commonly found at archaeological sites associated with the Kodjadermen-Gumelnița-Karanovo VI human groups (5th millennium BCE, Romania and Bulgaria), were a significant dietary component for this population. The organic matrix of these ancient shells is often well-preserved and can be analysed using stable isotopes.This study establishes the empirical relationship between the isotopic composition of the acid-inso…
Revisiting Archived Rye Grains Discovered at the Neolithic Site Cuneşti (Romania)
Direct accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) dating is crucial for a correct integration of plant remains in the (pre)history of crops, particularly for those that do not belong to the Neolithic package and are known to arrive in Europe much later. This paper reviews one of the earliest records of rye from Romania. The grains were discovered in the tell settlement of Cunești, which belongs to the Gumelnița communities (ca. 4600–3900 BC). In 1954, d…
