In the paper, new carpological data from Pielgrzymowice site 9 are presented in the context of
archaeobotanical finds from southern Poland. The results were obtained from detailed analyses of 45 samples
from 38 archaeological features. Only charred plant remains were taken into account as they are considered contemporaneous
with the Middle Bronze A...

Broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) is not one of the founder crops domesticated in Southwest Asia in the early Holocene, but was domesticated in northeast China by 6000 BC. In Europe, millet was reported in Early Neolithic contexts formed by 6000 BC, but recent radiocarbon dating...

When found on settlements of early European farmers, the dietary role of seeds of Chenopodium album (commonly called goosefoot or fat-hen) is difficult to assess. It is often hard to determine whether the small black seeds are modern or ancient. Rarely are they found in sufficient concentrations to warrant radiocarbon dating. Palae-obotanical sampl...
Cultivation of broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum L.) was a widespread practice in later European prehistory. When and how this ‘crop from the East’ was introduced to the continent and spread across it has not been determined. So far, based on the relative chronology of millet finds and a small set of radiocarbon-dated caryopses, it has been sugge...
Lipnik site 5, from which a storage pit dated to the Middle Bronze Age (ca. 1400–1100) was studied, gave more than 70 plant taxa in the extraordinarily well-preserved charred assemblage. In the paper, a detailed description of selected plants is presented followed by environmental interpretation. Acorns (Quercus) dominated in volume and proso mille...
A large assemblage of charred cereal grains was found at the multicultural site Kraków nowa Huta mogiła 62 during a rescue excavations performed in the late 1960s. it provided valuable source of material for archaeobotanical and stable isotope studies. Both current botanical analyses of six subsamples and new radiocarbon dates of the top and the bo...
Differentiating between charred and uncharred plant remains may appear straightforward but for some taxa (here fat-hen, Chenopodium album type) can be very problematic. Recognition of the preservation state is obviously crucial for archaeobotanical data derived from dry, open-air sites. Fat-hen as a common weed, is also one of the most important co...
The archaeological site 3 in Miechów provided samples for anthracological, carpological, zooarchaeological and malacofaunal analysis in order to investigate the dynamics of local vegetation and to understand people-environment interactions. The main research tasks included the characterization of local forests, the determination of the landscape op...
Acorns are not as well documented in archaeobotanical studies as other fruits and seeds, but their role in European and world prehistory and ethnography is evident. In Polish written sources they are described rather as famine food and fodder. A large find of charred acorns from a Bronze Age storage pit at the Lipnik site (3015±35 uncal bp, after c...
Projects
Project (1)
The aim of the project is the reconstruction of palaeodiet and tracing of its changes in time and space on the background of cultural and palaeogeographical changes.
In the project studies of archaeobotanical remains dated to the Neolihic and Bronze Age from Kujawy and Małopolska will be joined with information coming from archaeozoological and anthropological studies from the same sites and microregions. Plant remains are limiting factor in environmental studies as they are usually scarcer and less intensively studied than other biological remains.
