“…Desgraciadamente, el estado de conservación de estos elementos cerámicos impide definir, en la mayor parte de los casos, como se produce la separación del aceite y el alpechín. En este sentido son muy interesante los hallazgos del complejo oleícola de Las Delicias, en la que los dolia están dotados de un sistema de sifón que permite el trasvase del alpechín, mientras el aceite se deriva por su parte superior a otro depósito gracias a un rebosadero (Mauné et al, 2014;Bourgeon et al, 2018).…”

Analizamos en el presente trabajo las líneas maestras de la importante producción de aceite de oliva de la Provincia Baetica, destinado mayoritariamente al comercio interprovincial, prestando especial atención a las distintas regiones oleícolas que constatamos en la actualidad. De igual modo, analizamos el proceso de elaboración de este producto, en el que se emplean técnicas específicas de esta región con un alto grado de complejidad tecnológica. Desde el punto de vista técnico las almazaras béticas muestran una gran inversión constructiva, con una intensa mecanización y el uso de originales y complejos sistemas de elaboración. Esta novedosa tecnología oleícola será, posteriormente y en algunos casos, irradiada a otras provincias del Imperio.

“…Recent research has shown that an identical pairing of pomace with pottery was taking place in Spain, the other major olive oil producing region of the Roman Empire (Romo Salas et al, 2001;Bourgeon et al, 2018). At the 1 st -4 th century AD site of Las Delicias, located on the banks of the Genil river in the Roman province of Baetica (modern Andalusia), excavators recovered thousands of carbonized olive stone fragments from inside a kiln and in the area of the nearby olive press.…”

“…At the 1 st -4 th century AD site of Las Delicias, located on the banks of the Genil river in the Roman province of Baetica (modern Andalusia), excavators recovered thousands of carbonized olive stone fragments from inside a kiln and in the area of the nearby olive press. Here pomace was being used both to heat the water required during pressing and to fire the Dressel 20 amphorae required to export the oil (Bourgeon et al, 2018). Consequently, this practice was not restricted to North Africa and instead it seems to have been the Roman practice to intentionally pair industrial-scale, olive oil production with industrial-level, pottery production.…”

As a readily available and renewable resource, olive pomace has been used as a fuel throughout the Mediterranean for centuries. This article will first discuss the extensive use of pomace fuel in Roman North Africa, introducing and adding the once coastal city of Utica to our growing list of sites with archaeobotanical evidence for pomace residue. The paper will then focus on the ways in which the Romans linked olive oil and pottery production. While environmental sustainability was unlikely to have been one of the Romans' conscious objectives, the use of this fuel was vital to the continued production of North African ceramics, particularly in more arid areas. Today, in the face of increasing energy demands, pomace is once again being recognized as an important and sustainable resource. More work, however, still needs to be done to improve the efficiency of pomace use. The article will conclude by highlighting the valuable lessons that can be learned from ancient practices, especially the efficient pairing of olive cultivation and pottery production.

“…Geometric morphometrics analyze the position of the venation point using coordinate geometry values. This method has been successfully used to explain passion fruit leaves (Plotze and Bruno 2009), venation type of medicinal plants (Salima et al 2015;Ambarwari et al 2018), leaf variations in Passiflora (Chitwood and Otoni 2017), and olive tree varieties (Bourgeon et al 2017). This method has also been successfully applied in the identification of among and different types of cereal grains , to distinguish dental morphology among domestic equids (Chuang and Bonhomme 2018), identification the types of flies in the cocoon phase (Chaiphongpachara and Tubsamut 2019), and fish diversity in the North Sea (Caillon et al 2018).…”

Abstract. Ariawan I, Herdiyeni Y, Siregar IZ. 2020. Short Communication: Geometric morphometric analysis of leaves venation in Shorea spp. for identification using Digital Image Processing. Biodiversitas 21: 3303-3309. Shorea is one of the genera of the Dipterocarpaceae family which consists of more than 190 species. Massive exploitation of forests has threatened the sustainability of Shorea in nature. A total of 156 species has been listed on the IUCN (International Union for Conservation of Nature) red list. From the 156 species, 59.6% are in the critically endangered category, so urgent conservation is needed. However, during collection of Shorea at the seedling phase for conservation purposes, it is often difficult to distinguish among them that can cause errors in their collection process. To avoid these errors, identification needs to be done, usually based on plant leaf and flower morphology. Leaves are easier because they have the main features that distinguish each plant species, one of which is the venation structure. Geometric morphometric techniques are a modern approach recognized as useful for the identification of species in many plants. Geometric morphometrics analyzes the position of the venation point using coordinate geometry values. This research was aimed to extract venation features of Shorea leaves using a geometric morphometric approach. The extraction process result in some features, such as straightness, different angle, length ratio, scale projection, and secondary nerves. On extracted features, an analysis was then performed to find out the best features in classifying species of Shorea spp. The results of this study indicated that the geometric morphometric approach could extract the value of the features of straightness, different angle, length ratio, scale projection, and secondary nerves. The secondary nerve feature is the best feature because it can distinguish between fourcommonly planted species of Shorea spp. (S. acuminata, S. leprosula, S. ovalis, and S. selanica). By using the support vector machine classification technique to identify species of Shorea spp., the classification results obtained an average accuracy of 84.46%.
