“…Even though different crops have been found in the same samples, and the storage of distinct crops, with different characteristics (size, taste, etc. ), has been recorded in several regions and chronologies (Seabra et al 2018;Tarongi et al 2020), we cannot rule out that these were kept in distinct containers. They could have become mixed as a consequence of the destructive event that occurred, direct human actions related with the subsequent occupation phase, and post-depositional factors.…”

Archaeological excavations at several 10th century villages in the north-central region of Portugal have recovered large numbers of plant macroremains that have been preserved due to fires that affected the sites. The burned remains allow an approach to issues of the agriculture, collection and food consumption carried out by the rural communities that inhabited these sites.This paper presents and discusses the results of the analysis of carpological and anthracological remains. It also discusses some questions of sampling methodology. In fact, different approaches to sample collection greatly affect the results and, consequently, the image that can be built of the consumption and production of food by early medieval rural populations.The results are indicative of communities with a great diversity of cultivation solutions (cereals and legumes) that would be complemented by gathered products such as berries and fruits. The way in which food was stored and processed for consumption can also be detected by other archaeological indicators such as pottery and grinding elements. There is also evidence that points to the cultivation and working of flax. Some weaving elements recovered are thought to have been used to work flax and wool.

“…Abundant rye grains were found together with few chaff remains, including grains within the spikelets. Those were collected from inside storage pits where spelt was largely dominant [ 74 ]. In the remaining sites, namely CDCR, CRUI, and TONG, only a few remains of rye were collected and other cereals were more common, such as millets, hulled or naked wheats [ 99 – 101 ].…”

“…All changed after the archaeobotanical study carried out at Crastoeiro (Vila Real, Northern Portugal). Grains and chaff of rye were identified, and the 14 C dates obtained pointed out a chronology around the 1 st century BCE [ 74 ]. At the time, these were the earliest securely dated macroremains of rye in the whole Iberia.…”

The introduction and spread of rye (Secale cereale) in the Iberian Peninsula

et al. 2023

Some of the earliest Western European macroremains of rye (Secale cereale) have been recently recovered in Northwest Iberia. However, the chronological and cultural contexts of these remains have not been yet exhaustively analysed. To address this gap of research, previous and unpublished assemblages have been reviewed and analysed through an analytical set of methods: biometry, radiocarbon dates and integrating the remains of rye in the broad archaeobotanical record of the region. Results show the earliest macroremains of rye in the Iberian Peninsula date to a period between the 3rd century and the first half of the 1st century BCE. Rye was usually found in assemblages dominated by spelt and other cereals, in whose fields it was likely acting as a weed. There is no record of rye for about the two following centuries, after which it is probably reintroduced, now as a crop. It is found in several sites from the 3rd-4th centuries CE onwards, suggesting it is a staple crop as in other regions in Europe. Significant differences in grain size are only recorded in a 10th-11th century settlement, suggesting few changes in grain morphometry before Medieval times.

“…The walls of emplekton, two parallel faces with a core filled with finer material, had a high constructive quality (Figure 7b). For example, the fortified village of Castroeiro (Mondín de Basto, north Portugal) which was occupied from the 4th century BC to the first 1st century BC [121] conserves some very regular ashlars with a trapezoidal plan and pseudo-rectangular front (Figure 7), which certifies skill in carving granite ashlars. After the disappearance of the Roman Empire (476 AC), settlement patterns showed hill forts occupations and a new form of peasant site with the abandonment, dismantling or reorganization of Roman villas [122].…”

Heritage

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Human activity has required, since its origins, stones as raw material for carving, construction and rock art. The study, exploration, use and maintenance of building stones is a global phenomenon that has evolved from the first shelters, manufacture of lithic tools, to the construction of houses, infrastructures and monuments. Druids, philosophers, clergymen, quarrymen, master builders, naturalists, travelers, architects, archaeologists, physicists, chemists, curators, restorers, museologists, engineers and geologists, among other professionals, have worked with stones and they have produced the current knowledge in heritage stones. They are stones that have special significance in human culture. In this way, the connotation of heritage in stones has been acquired over the time. That is, the stones at the time of their historical use were simply stones used for a certain purpose. Therefore, the concept of heritage stone is broad, with cultural, historic, artistic, architectural, and scientific implications. A historical synthesis is presented of the main events that marked the use of stones from prehistory, through ancient history, medieval times, and to the modern period. In addition, the main authors who have written about stones are surveyed from Ancient Roman times to the middle of the twentieth century. Subtle properties of stones have been discovered and exploited by artists and artisans long before rigorous science took notice of them and explained them.
