Full textVegetation and plant resources can impact forager mobility and subsistence strategies. However, misconceptions about the preservation of organics in subarctic archaeological contexts and underestimations of the importance of plant resources to foraging societies limit paleoethnobotanical research in high-latitude environments. This research draws upon concepts from human behavioral ecology to address questions relating to site seasonality, plant resource use, land use, and deposition and taphonomy. The model developed in this thesis outlines expectations of seasonal archaeobotanical assemblages for Late Pleistocene and Holocene sites in interior Alaska. I consider these expectations in light of plant macroremains found in anthropogenic features from Components 1 and 3 (approximately 13,300 and 11,500 cal yr BP, respectively) at the Upward Sun River site, located in central Alaska.
Site-specific methods include bulk sampling of feature matrix in the field and wet-sieving matrix in the laboratory to collect organic remains. Analytical measures of density, diversity, and ubiquity tie together the model expectations and the results from Upward Sun River. The dominance of common bearberry in the Component 1 archaeobotanical assemblage meets the expectations of a late summer or fall occupation. This suggests that site occupants may have focused on mitigating the risk of starvation in winter months by foraging for seasonally predictable and storable resources. The variability in results from the Component 3 features could relate to longer-term occupations that extended from mid-summer to early fall, in which site occupants foraged for locally available and predictable plant resources such as blueberry or low-bush cranberry species.
In this thesis, I argue that large mammal resources were a key component in Late Pleistocene and Holocene subsistence strategies. However, foragers were flexible in their behavior and also targeted small mammals, fish, waterfowl, and plant resources in response to environmental conditions and cultural preferences. The results illustrate the long-standing use of culturally and economically important plant resources in interior Alaska and draw attention to aspects of human behavior that are under-conceptualized in northern archaeology, such as the gendered division of labor, domestic behavior, and potential impacts of plant resource exploitation on mobility and land use.

Full textThis study analyzes the botanical and archaeological material from a Middle Holocene occupation at the Bergen site, located in the Fort Rock Basin, Oregon. It serves to complement and enhance over a decade of research focused on regional settlement patterns in the Northern Great Basin. While previous studies in the region have focused on broadly based settlement patterns, this study shifted the interpretive lens toward an in-depth analysis of a single family dwelling, which was occupied some 6000 years ago. It thus introduces the domain of "household archaeology" into the practice of archaeological research in the Northern Great Basin for the first time. Macrobotanical analysis was conducted on 215 soil samples collected on a 50cm grid from this house. An additional 20 samples were analyzed from a second house structure at the site. These analyses have provided evidence of diet, environment, and social behavior associated with the prehistoric occupants of the house. The abundance of charred bulrush (Scirpus ), goosefoot (Chenopodium ), and waada (Suaeda ) seeds in the deposits indicate that small seeds of wetland-adapted plants were an important dietary resource during the Middle Holocene in the Fort Rock Basin. The patterned distribution of botanical material in 215 soil samples across the floor of the house provide strong evidence of prehistoric human activity areas. The highest concentration of seeds and charcoal in the house was located near the central fire hearth, where cooking and food preparation took place. An east-facing entryway is suggested by the presence of a secondary concentration of seeds and charcoal on the eastern edge of the structure. Analysis also revealed a differential distribution of seed types across the house floor. Higher concentrations of bulrush in the northern area of the floor, away from the hearth, suggest the presence of sleeping mats. Results of this study indicate that plant remains are not evenly distributed through archaeological deposits, therefore care must be taken when sampling for macrobotanical remains. Research at the Bergen site provides the basis for recommendations to assist future archaeologists in determining the best and most cost-effective locations within excavations to take macrobotanical samples.

Full textThe culture of olive tree and the production of olive oil from the Neolithic Era to the Roman Empire: the case of the Iberian Peninsula. The title highlights the two main research lines of this doctoral thesis. On the one hand, the domestication of the olive plant from the refuge areas of oleaster in the Mediterranean Sea; on the second hand, the emergence of different technologies of oil production, evolution and legacy observed between the different cultures of the Mediterranean from the Neolithic Era to the Roman Empire. All these issues are studied within the specific context of the Iberian Peninsula, western end of the Mediterranean world and place of exchanges and influences of from Eastern cultures - namely Phoenician and Greek. Through the study of domestication and first implantations of the olive tree emerged the need of involving scientific research from archaeobotany - identification of endocarps, wood charcoal and pollen - to genetics. The latter has recently demonstrated the indigeneity of the plant in West Mediterranean since the last glaciations, thus disputing the “diffusionist” theories of a Phoenician origin - exclusively Eastern - of the varieties of olive and their production. The second part of the research, dedicated to the study the Peninsular technology of olive oil, demonstrates the importance of craft and local machinery, as well as contemporary ‘preindustrial’ types of Eastern origin. Both typological groups complement and influence each other until the introduction of Roman olive industry

Full textCastanheiro do Vento is a chalcolithic archaeological site, located in Vila Nova de Foz Côa, on top of a round based hill, 730 meters high. There have been archaeological digs almost consecutively since 1998. During the years 2017, 2018 and 2019 sampling of carbonized plant material and soil were included, and those samples are the study object of this dissertation.The archaeobotanic study presented in this paper is based on the samples recovered from different contexts of the site and using different sampling techniques. Two hundred and one samples were taken from these contexts: area between Muretes (Walls) 1 and 2, Bastião (bastion) L, Estrutura Circular (circular structure) 8, area between Estrutura Circular (circular structure) 7 and the junction point of Murete (Wall) 2 and Bastião (bastion) M.The results showed that the predominant taxa in charcoal samples were Cistus sp., Quercus sp. and Quercus sp. perennial. In terms of carbonized fruits and seeds, the Quercus sp. and Triticeae, in particular the Triticum aestivum/ durum and Hordeum vulgare, were the most common. There were also identified, though less frequently, the following taxa: Acer sp., Arbutus unedo, Juniperus sp., Taxus baccata, Quercus suber, Quercus sp. deciduous, Fabaceae, Erica scoparia/ umbellata, Pinus pinaster and/or Pinus pinea, in anthracology, Hordeum nudum vulgare var. nudum, Pisum sativum, Vicia faba, Cistus ladanifer, Pinus sp., Trticum sp. and Fabaceae, in carpology.The carpological material is only present in Bastião L and its surrounding area, although there were taken more samples in this context. The relevance of systematic soil sampling also became clear, due to the impressive increase in the number of fragments recovered and their taxonomic variety. The preservation state of the charcoals, intensely fragmented, often cracked and with signs of vitrification, didn’t allow, with rare exceptions, the determination of the degree of curvature of the wood rings, which made it impossible to tell if the fragments belonged to branches or logs of small, medium or big dimension. That analysis was mostly only possible to obtain from Cistus sp. fragments, showing strong curvature rings, demonstrating that they originated from small branches and stems with low diameters which is normal, since they are a shrub species. The communities present in Castanheiro do Vento must have used different approaches in collecting wood and other plant resources. On one hand, not all species are from common environments, suggesting they had to collect them in different areas. On the other hand, there are evidence that supports the idea that they collected wood near the site, there’s presence of freshly cut wood, but they also brought some plant resources such as cereals from somewhere else, since there’s no evidence of weeds that are usually collected with grains when harvesting.
Castanheiro do Vento é um sítio arqueológico que data do Calcolítico, situado no concelho de Vila Nova de Foz Côa, no topo de uma colina com cerca de 730 m de altitude, tem sido alvo de campanhas arqueológicas praticamente consecutivas desde 1998. Durante as campanhas de 2017, 2018 e 2019 fizeram-se algumas recolhas de material vegetal carbonizado e de amostras sedimentares que são objeto de estudo neste trabalho.O estudo antracológico e carpológico que se apresenta nesta dissertação incide em amostras recolhidas em diferentes contextos do sítio e utilizando diferentes técnicas de amostragem.Foram recolhidas 201 amostras de material vegetal carbonizado associadas às seguintes áreas do sítio: área entre o Murete um e o Murete 2 (junto ao Bastião L), Bastião L, Estrutura Circular 8, área entre a Estrutura Circular 7 e a junção do Murete 2 e Bastião M.Os resultados da análise das amostras antracológicas revelaram a predominância dos táxones e tipos anatómicos Cistus sp. (esteva) e Quercus sp. e Quercus sp. perenifólia (sobreiro, azinheira, carrasco). Na carpologia os táxones mais frequentes foram Quercus sp. (bolota) e Triticeae (cereais), nomeadamente Triticum aestivum/ durum (trigo) e Hordeum vulgare (cevada). Foram também identificadas outras espécies em menor número, na antracologia, Acer sp. (bordo), Arbutus unedo (medronheiro), Juniperus sp. (zimbro), Taxus baccata (teixo), Quercus suber (sobreiro), Quercus sp. caducifólia (carvalho), Fabaceae (tojos, giestas, etc.), Erica scoparia/ umbellata (urze), Pinus pinaster e/ou Pinus pinea (pinheiro bravo e manso). Na carpologia, Hordeum vulgare var. nudum (cevada), Pisum sativum (ervilha), Vicia faba (fava), Cistus ladanifer (esteva), Pinus sp. (pinha), Trticum sp. (trigo) e Fabaceae. O material carpológico está apenas presente no Bastião L e área envolvente do mesmo, contudo foi nesta área que foi recolhido maior número de amostras. Ficou também esclarecida a importância da recolha de amostras de sedimento sistemáticas, que revelarem uma subida extraordinária do número de fragmentos e variedade taxonómica. O estado de conservação dos carvões, muito fragmentados, alguns fissurados e vitrificados; não permitiram, salvo raras exceções, a determinação do grau de curvatura dos anéis, não sendo possível averiguar se os fragmentos eram provenientes de ramos/troncos de pequena, média ou grande dimensão. Cistus sp. foi o táxon que mais frequentemente permitiu essa análise, demonstrando maioritariamente fragmentos com curvaturas fortes, provenientes de pequenos raminhos, o que é natural, considerando tratar-se de um táxon arbustivo. A recolha de materiais vegetais pelas comunidades que usufruíram de Castanheiro do Vento terá sido diferenciada. Nem todas as espécies provêm de ambientes comuns pelo que não poderão ter sido recolhidas nos mesmos meios. Não foram analisados vestígios de ervas daninhas no material carpológico, podendo indicar que os grãos eram transportados para a jazida depois dos processos associados à colheita. Há também presença de madeira verde, sugerindo que havia recolha de madeira nas redondezas para uso imediato.

Ethnobotanical information still needs documentation as this will assist in the preservation of information for future generation. It becomes most important, particularly when considering the neglected ethnic subgroups. From fourteen villages in the Ehlanzeni district; elders, community adults and youth were selected by means of snow balling technique and a semi-structured questionnaire was used to interview them. Data was analysed by calculating the use value of selected plant species on common ailments. Hundred and forty-eight plants were observed as being utilized by Mapulana as food (fruits and African leafy vegetables), fuelwood, medicine and the making of utensils. The majority of the recorded plant species (54%) were native while 46% were naturalized. The majority of plants (37%) were utilized as medicine only, while food contributed only 19 percent usage, followed by medicine (13%), fuelwood (4%) and utensils (1%). A total of hundred and six plant species were identified as medicine treating 50 different ailments. Roots and leaves were the highly preferred plant and herb parts collected. The results showed that Sclerocarya birrea subsp. caffra (use value of 0.86) was reported as being used in four different ways; seconded by Cucurbita maxima (use value of 0.58) with two different uses. Numerous medicinal uses were observed from Aloe zebrina (use value 0.38) and Aloe marlothii (use value 0.29). Ailments with Informant Consensus Factor (ICF) were gonorrhea (1.80), stomach cleansing (1.40), chicken and cow diseases (1.19), bad luck (0.88), flu (0.84), and diarrhea (0.80). There were, in addition, many ailments with low ICF known by the elders and few community adults proving that the elderly are custodians of indigenous knowledge. Twenty-six line transects of 100m x 10m in size were constructed in determining the population structure of Peltophorum africanum Sond. in Bolla-Tau village. A total of 256 individuals were recorded from the transects. Data was analyzed using IBM Statistical Product and Service solutions (SPSS) statistics version 25 and Microsoft Excel 2013 version. The population structure of P. africanum was found to be bell-shaped. Logarithmic analysis, along with generalized log analysis depicts, that there was significance difference between the plant height and stem circumference. Resprouts of P. africanum individuals were only 18% and a majority of individuals (82%) were harvested. The study revealed that 43.84% of P. africanum individuals had traces of crown damage, as compared to individuals with healthy crowns (35.9%). The rest of the individuals had either light or moderate crown-health status.

Full textThis thesis focuses on the study of the macrobotanical remains from the Droulers village site inhabited during the second half of the XVth century by a St. Lawrence Iroquoian community. The main goal is to verify the practices of its inhabitants regarding the botanical contribution to their diet less than a century before the end of prehistory. Remains resulting from the practice of agriculture and gathering from wild are present in different contexts of the site. The analysis of these remains demonstrates the importance of these activites in the daily life of the inhabitants of the site. Thus, it is possible to validate the importance of maize among the subsistence strategies by means of ubiquity analysis of that species on the site. Maize is indeed the most common species throughout the different contexts studied. The presence of that species coupled with that of bean and squash demonstrates the practice of the Three sisters mound system at the Droulers site, a practice documented historically by the first European chroniclers. The remains of fruits and nuts are relatively well represented on the site, which suggests the importance of gathering in the diet of the Droulers inhabitants. The synchronic and diachronic comparative study of those macrobotanical remains with those found elsewhere in Iroquoia helps to better situate the degree of importance of the activities mentioned above at the Droulers site in relation to that of other sites whether older, contemporary or younger. The majority of the fruits present on the site where also gathered by the Glen Meyer and Princess Point proto-iroquoians and by other iroquoian groups (prehistoric and historic). The degree of utilization of the wild fruits at the Droulers site is in continuity with that of older and younger related groups. The utilization of cultigens and nuts at the Droulers site is similar to that of other Iroquoian groups.
