“…According to van der Veen and Fieller (1982), every sample requires at least 384 items, with one taxon making up 50 % of the assemblage, to ensure a 95 % chance of estimating the contribution of each taxon. Samples with fewer than 50 or 100 items are also excluded from crop processing and husbandry analysis (Bogaard 2004;Valamoti 2004;Van der Veen 1992). The exact importance of each taxon in these assemblages is therefore questionable, especially as only two samples from Vinkovci/Matije Gupca 14 have over 384 plant remains, and these are dominated by brome grass (Bromus sp.)…”

“…Thus far, the material culture exposed dates to the Late Bronze IIB, the Iron IIA, IIB, and IIC. In addition, pottery finds from unstratified layers, from the survey results (Uziel & Shai, 2010;Shai & Uziel, 2014), and from Area C indicate human activity in the Early and Middle Bronze Age, the Iron Age I, the Persian and the Byzantine periods. To date, five excavation areas have been opened throughout the tell enabling the investigation of significant features including the fortifications surrounding the summit (Areas A1 and B2), the Iron Age II occupation upon the summit (Area A2), a public Late Bronze Age building on a shelf west of the summit (Area B1) and agricultural installations on the north-eastern slopes (Area C; Shai et al, 2012;Shai and Uziel 2014;Shai et al, 2015;Fig.…”

“…In 2009, the Tel Burna Archaeological Project initiated a high-resolution survey of the site and its immediate surroundings (Uziel & Shai, 2010). Subsequently, another survey method was applied, based on shovel test pits to further support the initial survey finds (Shai & Uziel, 2014).…”

The Shephelah, known as the breadbasket of the southern Levant, is one of the more extensively investigated regions of the southern Levant in terms of archaeobotanical research. However, studies dealing with agriculture are scarce in comparison to the archaeobotanical data available. The analysis of the archaeobotanical assemblage in combination with the archaeological remains from Tel Burna will contribute to the investigation of the agriculture of the Shephelah. Several seasons of excavation revealed a cultic complex dating to the Late Bronze Age and an Iron Age II settlement with various agricultural installations such as silos and wine or olive presses. In this paper, we present the agricultural features in conjunction with the systematical archaeobotanical sampling, which enables us to reconstruct the types of crop plants cultivated at the site. Grass pea seeds dominate the assemblage collected from the Late Bronze Age complex, which may point to a connection to the Aegean. The Iron Age assemblage is distinguished by a significantly broad range of crop plants which were cultivated in vicinity of the tell. The archaeological Iron Age remains indicate that the processing of secondary products such as olive oil, wine, or textiles took place within the Iron Age settlement of Tel Burna. This first comprehensive overview describes the character of agricultural production in the Late Bronze Age to Iron Age environmental and geopolitical transformations.
