Changes in spectra of cultivated and gathered plants in the Bronze Age: A study based on archaeobotanical data from the Czech Republic
The Bronze Age (BA) in Central Europe witnessed significant transformations in various aspects of human activities. This study focuses on changes in subsistence strategies during the BA, represented by the assortment of edible plants. We examined charred macroremains from 39 archaeological sites in the Czech Republic. Our aims include providing an overview of crop records, determining the dating of new crop introductions, and identifying spatial …
A new tool for formalised vegetation reconstruction from (sub)fossil records – the Fever Index
New radiocarbon dates point to the early evolution of resilient agriculture among Central Europe’s first farmers
The shift towards cultivating domesticated crops was a pivotal development in ecological, economic, and human behavioural systems. As agriculture expanded beyond its origins, it faced diverse environments, often unsuitable for the originally cultivated domesticates. Farmers in Central Europe had to adjust and transform their farming systems, typically cultivating only five domesticated crop species. Here, we present new archaeobotanical data comp…
Of Humans and Science. Laboratory of Archaeobotany and Palaeoecology and the Second Decade of Environmental Archaeology at the University of South Bohemia
The Laboratory of Archaeobotany and Palaeoecology (LAPE), of the Faculty of Science of the University of South Bohemia in České Budějovice (USB) was founded twenty years ago. The department is closely linked with the Institute of Archaeology of the USB in terms of staff and projects, which are mainly focused on the issues of paleoecology, archaeobotany and archaeozoology. The present paper discusses the teaching of environmental archaeology and p…
The Shaqadud Archaeological Project (Sudan): Exploring prehistoric cultural adaptations in the Sahelian hinterlands
The authors present preliminary results from a new research project based in Jebel Shaqadud, Sudan. Their findings highlight the potential for this region's archaeological record to expand our understanding of the adaptation strategies used by human groups in arid north-east African environments away from rivers and lakes during the Holocene. Furthermore, they present exceptionally early radiocarbon dates that push postglacial human occupation in…
Seeking the meaning of a unique mountain site through a multidisciplinary approach. The Late La Tène site at Sklářské Valley, Šumava Mountains, Czech Republic
The dynamics of a non-forested stand in the Krušné Mts: The effect of a short-lived medieval village on the local environment
Cultivation with deliberation: Cereals and their growing conditions in prehistory
Papaver. Centre for Human and Plant Studies of Postglacial Europe and Northern Africa, 2013–2015
Papaver Centre was constituted in 2013 at the University of South Bohemia in esk Budjovice, Czech Republic. The name of centre represents common and interesting genus of plants which is distributed from Northern Africa across Europe to the polar latitudes. The aim of the Papaver Centre is to develop ties within the interdisciplinary team consisting of paleoecologists, archaeologists, and vegetation ecologists in order to create an effective space…
Early to high medieval colonization and alluvial landscape transformation of the Labe valley (Czech Republic): Evaluation of Archaeological, Pollen and Macrofossil Evidence
Diachronic development of the Lake of Abusir during the third millennium BC, Cairo, Egypt
Archaeobotanical Database of the Czech Republic, an Interim Report
archaeobotanical research in the czech republic has generated enormous quantities of unique, but non-uniform, data that are currently stored in disparate hard copy and electronic formats. a consortium of archaeological organisations has initiated the archaeobotanical database of the czech republic (CZAD) to facilitate data storage, access and quality. CZAD is being developed under the auspices of the ArboDat Project, by the Institute of Archaeolo…
