Tracing the influence of Western Mediterranean innovations in Neolithic Europe through directly radiocarbon-dated naked wheat (Triticum aestivum/durum/turgidum)
The dispersal of crops offers a powerful lens through which to investigate prehistoric mobility, interaction, and adaptation. This study examines the spatiotemporal distribution of naked wheat across Europe during the Neolithic using a dataset of 116 directly dated naked wheat remains from 58 archaeological sites (ca. 6000–2400 cal BCE). Dates were calibrated and analysed through summed probability distributions, composite Kernel Density Estimati…
Ashes to ashes
This study presents the archaeobotanical analysis of several Iberian cremation burial grounds dated to the 1st millennium bce in the eastern Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands. Plant remains from these sites were taxonomically identified and they provide a better understanding of the use of fuel and offerings in funerary contexts, an issue on which there has not yet been sufficient systematic research. The results reveal both the recurring pr…
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…
Rethinking late prehistoric Mediterranean Africa
The European shores of the Mediterranean are characterised by well-known sociocultural and economic dynamics during the Bronze and Early Iron Ages (2200-550 BC), but our understanding of the African shores is comparatively vague. Here, the authors present results from excavations at Kach Kouch, Morocco, revealing an occupation phase from 2200-2000 cal BC, followed by a stable settlement from c. 1300-600 BC characterised by wattle and daub archite…
Gone with the fire. The role of charred plant remains in inhumation and cremation rituals in the Phoenician necropolis of Puig des Molins (Ibiza, Balearic Islands)
The presence of plants in funerary rituals is a topic that has not been sufficiently investigated. The necropolis of Puig des Molins (Ibiza) dated to the 1st millennium BC, offers the opportunity to approach the role of plant remains involved in cremation and inhumation rituals, either as part of the pyre and other ritual fires or indirectly, as offerings or feasting activities, but also taphonomic and chronological questions. The origin of plant…

New Products, New Tastes? Agricultural Innovations and Continuities Between the Ninth and Fourth Centuries Bc in Mediterranean Iberia
The encounters between the immigrant populations of the Levant and the local communities of the south and east of the Iberian peninsula occurring from the beginning of the first millennium led to the transformation of diet and agricultural production. The arrival of new products such as chickpeas and different fruit trees, including in particular the vine, increased the variety and quality of the food consumed. It was at this specific moment that…
A multi-stage Bayesian modelling for building the chronocultural sequence of the Late Mesolithic at Cueva de la Cocina (Valencia, Eastern Iberia)
Agriculture at the Phoenician site of La Fonteta (Alicante, Spain)
The Phoenician settlement of La Fonteta (Alicante, Spain) was founded in the late 8th cent bc at the mouth of the Río Segura. It has provided one of the most complete archaeobotanical records of all Phoenician Mediterranean sites which points to an agricultural system based on cultivating cereals, pulses and a wide variety of fruits such as grape, fig and pomegranate. These crops then spread to the surrounding indigenous settlements. Apart from i…
Plants from distant places
The 1st millennium ce in the Iberian peninsula was characterized by a continuous exchange of people, goods, food, technology, etc. which led to the transformation of agriculture and the introduction of new crops there. This paper presents the archaeobotanical evidence of the plants that were introduced there during the Roman and medieval periods. Cereals such as Secale cereale (rye), Pennisetum glaucum (pearl millet) and Oryza sativa (rice) appea…
Human Ecology and the Southern Iberian Neolithic
Archaeology has long incorporated the methods of the natural sciences and the theoretical principles of the overarching scientific framework. Most archaeologists acknowledge the importance of a systemic perspective in the study of the evolution of human behavior, with emphasis on the contexts in which individuals and populations lived and interacted. This article develops an ecological approach to the subsistence patterns and dynamics of the Neol…

The two sites located in Western Maghreb, one on the Atlantic and one on the Mediterranean coast, were investigated in the framework of the AGRIWESTMED project. Phytolith analysis complemented archaeobotanical, geoarchaeological and archaeological investigations to better identify pla…
Reflections on the Other Side. A Southern Iberia Origin for the First Pottery Production of Northern Morocco
This work is a starting point for rethinking the role of the Iberian Peninsula in the neolithisation of northern Morocco. It focuses on the similarities and divergences between the first pottery productions and their decorations in both territories. This relationship is supported by the existence of an accurate chronological gradation between the first evidence of Neolithisation in Iberian Peninsula and that of northern Morocco which suggests a n…
New insights into the daily and symbolic use of plants during initial occupations of Formentera (Balearic Islands, Spain)
The island of Formentera, with its small extension and flat orography, was settled relatively late in Mediterranean prehistory between the third and second millennium BC. The sites presented in this paper, Cova des Fum and Cova des Riuets, offer evidence of the island’s first occupation. Cova des Fum comprises a necropolis of the Bronze Age and two sanctuary spaces (used, at least, from 2035 cal BC), with hearths and water management structures. …

Nuevos datos sobre el paisaje vegetal de las primeras ocupaciones de Mallorca
El Coval Simó constituye una de las evidencias más antiguas de poblamiento en la isla de Mallorca y en el archipiélago balear. Tiene, además, la particularidad de ser un hábitat en zona de montaña, de modo que los grupos humanos que se asentaron allí debieron de adaptar su sistema agropecuario y de explotación del entorno a este medio. Los restos vegetales (carbones y semillas) recuperados en los niveles de ocupación del yacimiento permiten apr…
Iron Age botanical remains from nuraghe S'Urachi, Sardinia
Andalusi Populations at La Dehesilla Cave (Sierra de Cádiz, Southern Iberia)
Few studies have dealt with the occupation of caves during the Andalusi period in Southern Iberia. This may be explained by the attention placed traditionally on the trinomial mudun (cities), husun (fortresses) and qurà (farmsteads), in which other forms of rural occupation have been generally overlooked. In this paper we explore the sequence at La Dehesilla Cave –based on the analysis of animal skeleton remains, pollen, seeds and fruits, and phy…

Garden plants in medieval Iberia
Of all the plants that were used in early medieval times, many were grown in gardens and orchards and contributed to the subsistence of medieval communities. Archaeobotany provides direct evidence of the range of species used either for food or for other purposes. In this contribution, we explore the evidence of garden produce in early medieval Iberia focusing on archaeobotanical data. First, we will analyse the available data, taking into consid…

Beyond Adornment
The use of seashells for the decoration of pottery from the sixth millennium cal BC is well known in the western Mediterranean, with the emergence of so-called Cardial Pottery. Actually, the most discussed issue up until now has been the use of bivalves for impressed decoration. However, the experimental approach followed in the present study provides for the first time clear evidence for the utilization of a very specific group of shells as tool…
