La Draga
Agriculture and livestock economy among prehistoric herders based on plant macro-remains from El Mirador (Atapuerca, Burgos)
The hard knock life. Archaeobotanical data on farming practices during the Neolithic (5400–2300 cal BC) in the NE of the Iberian Peninsula

Prehistoric Occupation of Banyoles Lakeshore
Recent research at the Neolithic site of La Draga on the edge of Banyoles Lake (Girona, Spain) has documented evidence for the occupation of the lakeshore from the final quarter of the sixth millennium cal BC. Excavation during 2010 and 2011 identified at least two episodes of occupation. The oldest episode includes wooden structures, which were superseded and overlain by a paving of travertine blocks during the younger phase. Archaeological mate…
Landscape transformation and economic practices among the first farming societies in Lake Banyoles (Girona, Spain)
This paper focuses on the high-resolution pollen analysis of one new pollen record from Lake Banyoles \n(Girona, Spain) and its contextualisation with other archaeobotanical records (charcoal, seed and wood \nremains) from the early Neolithic lakeshore settlement of La Draga. Around ca.7250 cal BP, coinciding \nwith the first settlement phase of La Draga, a rapid fall of the pollen values of deciduous Quercus sp. is \nobserved, and a stabilisatio…
An integrated perspective on farming in the early Neolithic lakeshore site of La Draga (Banyoles, Spain)
A combined analysis of the faunal and charred plant macroremains from the early Neolithic lakeshore site of La Draga (Banyoles, Spain) is presented. The aim was to characterise the farming strategies practiced by the first Neolithic communities in the north-east of the Iberian Peninsula in terms of their degree of intensity. The joint discussion of the data allowed the observation that permanent plots could have been kept, that a high harvest wou…
The Application of Systematic Sampling Strategies for Bioarchaeological Studies in the Early Neolithic Lakeshore Site of La Draga (Banyoles, Spain)
This paper presents the multi-disciplinary sampling strategy that has been applied at the archaeological site of La Draga during the last three fieldwork campaigns (2010–2012). A preliminary evaluation of the results is presented in order to discuss the efficiency of the strategy in answering the outlined scientific questions. The strategies applied for faunal remains (one hundred per cent recovery), wood remains (selective sampling) and charcoal…
DNA analysis in charred grains of naked wheat from several archaeological sites in Spain
Proposal for the systematic description and taphonomic study of carbonized cereal grain assemblages
Late Pleistocene and early Holocene climate and the beginnings of cultivation in northern Syria
Climate change has been interpreted as a contributing factor to the emergence of agriculture in the Near East. We examine how climate change may have affected the availability of food plants and their cultivation in northern Syria at the end of the Pleistocene and the beginning of the Holocene. Charred plant remains from sites representing 11 archaeological levels indicate that during the late Pleistocene rye was commonly used, together with seed…
Archéobotanique des semences et des fruits de Lattara
À travers plusieurs études systématiques concernant la fouille du site de Lattes, les analyses de semences et de fruits archéologiques ont permis de retracer l’évolution de la production, du traitement et de la consommation des végétaux entre la fin du premier âge du Fer et l’époque romaine (fin du VIe s. av. J.-C.-IIe s. apr. J.-C.). Faisant valoir la richesse et les potentialités exceptionnelles du gisement, ce bilan de la recherche carpologiqu…
Stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes and quality traits of fossil cereal grains provide clues on sustainability at the beginnings of Mediterranean agriculture
We present a novel approach to study the sustainability of ancient Mediterranean agriculture that combines the measurement of carbon isotope discrimination (Δ 13 C) and nitrogen isotope composition ( δ 15 N) along with the assessment of quality traits in fossil cereal grains. Charred grains of naked wheat and barley were recovered in Los Castillejos , an archaeological site in SE Spain, with a continuous occupation of ca. 1500 years starting soon…

Cueva de El Toro (Antequera, Malaga-Spain)
The occupation evidence shown by the cave El Toro, is that of a unique stockbreeding community in the Andalusian region. The calibrated dates for this occupation period go from the second quarter of the sixth millennium up to the second millennium BP. There is also evidence of occasional occupation throughout later millennia up to the Hispano-Muslim period. The nature of thisoccupation is determined by the close link between the cave and the comm…

Changes in carbon isotope discrimination in grain cereals from different regions of the western Mediterranean Basin during the past seven millennia. Palaeoenvironmental evidence of a differential chan…
Carbon isotope discrimination (Δ) was determined for kernels of six‐row barley and durum wheat cultivated in the western Mediterranean basin during the last seven millennia. Samples came from different archaeological sites in Catalonia (north‐east Spain) and in the south‐east of Spain (mainly eastern Andalusia). Samples from the present were also analysed. Mean values of Δ for barley and durum wheat grains decreased slightly from Neolithic (7000–…
