“…The Mediterranean Basin is very rich in olive germplasm [2]. Although Galicia in northwestern Spain lies outside the area in which olive trees are commonly grown, they have been cultivated in this region for centuries, as evidenced by its many oil presses [3], the remains of olive seeds at archaeological sites [4], and historic references [5,6].…”

Olives (Olea europaea L.) are an important crop in the Mediterranean Basin, but it is not well-known that they have also been grown in other areas, such as Galicia in northwestern Spain. Although commercial production ended long ago in this peripheral growing region, it remains home to olive resources that are well-adapted to the prevailing environmental conditions, providing a valuable but largely undocumented source of genetic variation. Following a survey of Galicia to locate examples of centuries-old olive trees, those detected were subjected to molecular characterization using a set of microsatellite markers, as well as full botanical characterization using the features established by the International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of Plants, along with others proposed by the present authors. These procedures allowed 11 undescribed varieties to be identified, which are new genetic resources that might be of use in olive improvement programs or studies of how the species adapts to different climates. The trees also underwent preliminary health checks, allowing disease-free specimens of each variety to be propagated. The addition of this material to the Community Plant Variety Office’s register of commercial varieties is underway.

“…La vitis vinifera aparece no solo en estos lugares más meridionales del conventus bracaraugustanus, sino también más al norte, en otras regiones del Noroeste, en la zona de Lugo y en Asturias (Mighall et al, 2006: 216;García-Amorena et al, 2008: 827). La Vitis vinifera subsp vinifera y la Vitis vinifera subsp sylvestris están presentes en O Areal y Reza Vella (Teira Brión, 2010;Teira Brión & Rey, 2021;Teira Brión, 2023) en contextos romanos. Sea lo que fuese y a pesar de que falte por realizar este tipo de estudios para las regiones más próximas al Duero, nos parece perfectamente aceptable que el cultivo habitual de la viña encuentre claros testimonios en los conjuntos arqueo-bótanicos del Duero, sobre todo a partir de finales del siglo I d. C. Menos seguro será buscar ese cultivo y la generalización de esa práctica en época romana a partir de los lagares excavados en la roca que abundan en la región duriense y en otras contiguas (cf.…”

En este artículo se aborda la cuestión de la producción, comercialización y consumo de vino en el Noroeste peninsular, en particular en la región portuguesa de Trás-os-Montes, inscrita en el sur del conventus Asturum (antigua provincia de la Gallaecia). A pesar de la total ausencia de ánforas en el yacimiento romano de Castro de Avelãs (Bragança) y en su entorno inmediato, es posible que este producto, tan importante en época romana, se haya consumido y quizás hasta producido y distribuido en la zona usando contenedores diferentes. En par ticular se propone que un tipo de tinajas se hayan usado para el almacenamiento, transpor te y quizás hasta para la producción de vino. Esta hipótesis se refuerza con los análisis realizados mediante cromatografia de gases/espectometría de masas sobre tres de estos recipientes cerámicos recuperados en el yacimiento, registrando marcadores compatibles con el vino. Ante estos datos, se ha abierto la discusión sobre el consumo y la producción de vino (y de otros productos) en este territorio del sureste de la Gallaecia.

The 1st millennium ce in the Iberian peninsula was characterized by a continuous exchange of people, goods, food, technology, etc. which led to the transformation of agriculture and the introduction of new crops there. This paper presents the archaeobotanical evidence of the plants that were introduced there during the Roman and medieval periods. Cereals such as Secale cereale (rye), Pennisetum glaucum (pearl millet) and Oryza sativa (rice) appeared for the first time in the archaeological record together with new fruit taxa, Prunus persica (peach), Morus nigra (black mulberry), Prunus armeniaca (apricot), Cydonia oblonga (quince), Mespilus germanica (medlar) and Citrus species, enriching the diet of the Iberian people. There were also fibre plants such as Cannabis sativa (hemp) that are now first recorded. The paper provides the first records of these taxa while awaiting further research that can offer more detailed information on whether some of them may also have been present in earlier periods.
