On the formation of charred millet aggregates in archaeological assemblages
Charred aggregates are one of the most common forms in which millets are preserved on archaeological sites. Despite the lack of consensus on their origin, few studies have attempted to determine how aggregates are formed. Knowing how aggregates are produced allows us to understand the diversity of processes operating in the formation of charred archaeobotanical assemblages. As a contribution to filling this gap, we investigated the charring condi…
The effects of charring on morphology and stable carbon and nitrogen isotope values of common and foxtail millet grains
Stable isotopes are a core method for assessing crop growing conditions in different climatic and soil environments and, thereby, for understanding past agricultural practices. However, isotopic values in plants are altered depending on distinct forms of preservation, including degrees of charring. To investigate this issue in two cereals, common millet ( Panicum miliaceum L.) and foxtail millet [ Setaria italica (L.) P.Beauv.], we conducted expe…
Tracing the biographies of textiles in the transition of medieval to modern times
Findings of archaeological textiles and fibres in Northern Iberia are extremely rare. The occurrence of a set of textile fragments, dated between the 14th and 16th centuries CE at the Pambre castle (Palas de Rei, Lugo, Spain) is exceptional. The original stone roof of the southeastern tower was intact. The dark, cold and moist conditions inside the tower favoured the preservation of a unique series of waterlogged textile remains. In addition, a s…
Shared technologies for pottery and acorns processing? Multidisciplinary and functional approach to modular kilns
This paper deals with the so-called modular kilns, ceramic structures characteristic of the Bronze and Iron Age periods in various regions of Europe. Despite the interest shown in these material forms in recent years, their exact function is still unclear. However, the dominant interpretation within archaeological research has tended to associate them with pottery production. While this hypothesis has been based mainly on macro-observations deriv…
The city as dissipative structure
Towns were dynamic economic and political centers during the Middle Ages, giving rise to the emergence of new social classes. As a result of their functions, a new relationship began to be forged with the rural world, which supplied towns with foodstuffs that satisfied new social demands. Archaeobotanical analysis (carpology) allows us to understand the flow of cash crops by tracing seeds and fruits produced in the countryside that were consumed …
La casa imaginaria
Los hoyos ocasionados por la caída de árboles son uno de los edaforrasgos más comunes en los suelos. Su origen puede ser tanto natural, la muerte y caída de un árbol, como antropogénico, relacionado con la tala del bosque. Este tipo de estructuras se han encontrado en varios yacimientos del Noroeste ibérico en las últimas décadas, pero han sido entendidas como fondos de cabaña. Además, la investigación reciente no ha tenido en cuenta las incohere…
Understanding the plant economy of the westernmost territory of the Roman state through waste
Evidencias arqueobotánicas para una historia del consumo y producción de vino en el Noroeste ibérico
Los datos arqueobotánicos publicados en los últimos años en el noroeste de la península ibérica nos permiten trazar una evolución del cultivo de la vid con unas pautas cronológicas y unas características internas singulares. Los análisis polínicos, carpológicos y antracológicos han identificado la presencia de Vitis vinifera subsp. sylvestris en el medio natural y su aprovechamiento por las comunidades protohistóricas. En época romana, los conjun…

Agricultural production in the 1st millennium BCE in Northwest Iberia
A Multi-Disciplinary Study of Woodcrafts and Plant Remains that Reveals the History of Pontevedra’s Harbour (Northwest Iberia) Between the 13th and 19th Centuries AD
Waterlogged woodcrafts and other plant remains were recovered at 65 Arcebispo Malvar Street (Pontevedra, Spain) from contexts from the 13th to 19th centuries AD, although most of the artefacts were concentrated in accumulations of organic remains dating to the 15th century AD. The site is located close to the Pontevedra’s harbour and wooden dock. Plant-based crafts and other organic remains were classified into five groups: timbers, containers, p…
Disentangling the life-cycles of Bronze Age pits
Agriculture in NW Iberia during the Bronze Age
The wide and diverse array of palaeoenvironmental studies that were carried out in Northwestern Iberia indicate that the Bronze Age corresponds to a phase of great landscape changes. Strong deforestation and erosion episodes are key-features and they are usually assumed to be anthropogenic. The archaeological and archaeobotanical records demonstrate that these trends are coincident with modifications on settlement pattern and agricultural systems…
