Discovering Plum, Watermelon and Grape Cultivars Founded in a Middle Age Site of Sassari (Sardinia, Italy) through a Computer Image Analysis Approach

“…The Sardinian name of watermelon, sìndria (with local variations of sìndia, srìndia, cindria), only in limited areas called foràstigu and patecca [68], is also related to Spanish and Catalan names. As detailed in the introduction, at the time the city of Sassari was part of the Crown of Aragon, some of the Iberian territories were dominated by Muslims for several centuries [69]. The affinity found among the archaeological remains with Sardinian, Spanish, African, and Central Asian accessions might be linked to the different historical events that took place on the island before and during the Middle Ages.…”
