| Summary: | The aim of the archaeobotanical research of plant macro remains assemblage from the Early
Neolithic settlement at Modlniczka in southern Poland is to study plants (fruit and seeds), cultivated and wild
species used by the oldest farming groups during the early phase of occupation at the sites. The results were
obtained from 62 samples from two archaeological sites, Modlniczka sites 3 and 4, likely forming one large settlement.
Only charred plant remains were taken into account. Among cultivated plants, two species of hulled
wheat, Triticum dicoccon and Triticum monococcum , and common barley Hordeum vulgare were documented.
Among wild plants, several taxa were found, including Chenopodium t. album , Ch. polyspermum , Fallopia convolvulus ,
Bromus sp. Numerous seeds of Chenopodium t. album indicates that this plant could have been used
as part of a diet. In addition, hazelnut ( Corylus avellana ) shells were found. |
