RIFIUTI ALIMENTARI DI UNA RICCA FAMIGLIA CITTADINA NEL TARDO SECOLO QUATTORDICESIMO: RESTI FAUNISTICI E BOTANICI DAL PALAZZO VITELLESCHI, TARQUINIA (VITERBO)Gli scavi condotti dalla British School at Rome nel Palazzo Vitelleschi in Tarquinia hanno fornito una quantità considerevole di dati faunistici e botanici, molti dei quali relativi al “proto-palazzo” del tardo sec. XIV. Le analisi del materiale qui presentate permettono di ricostruire in maniera abbastanza dettagliata il regime alimentare di una ricca e privilegiata famiglia urbana: tale esempio non può dunque essere assunto come rappresentativo in generale del tenore di vita diffuso nell'Italia centrale in età medievale. Alcuni elementi testimoniano come gli abitanti del proto-palazzo siano stati colpiti da una malattia, forse peste. E' stato possibile estendere il quadro ottenuto da questo particolare contesto e mettere in relazione l'economia di questa famiglia con l'organizzazione della produzione agricola nella compagna circostante. Le conoscenze offerte dai dati faunistici e botanici sul tipo di vita condotta nel medioevo sono paragonati e messi a confronto con le testimonianze documentarie relative alia dieta ed alla agricoltura medievale in Italia, anch'esse relative in gran parte alle classi più alte della società.

UN INSEDIAMENTO COLLINARE ALTOMEDIEVALE IN MOLISE: I RESTI BOTANICI DA D85In questo articolo si tratta dei resti botanici raccolti durante gli scavi di D85, un insediamento collinare altomedievale nella valle del Biferno in Molise. Sono state raccolte grandi quantità di resti botanici carbonizzati. Sono stati trovate le seguenti piante: frumento, orzo, miglio, avena, ceci, fave, lino, fichi, uva e coriandolo. I risultati vengono messi a confronto con i dati etnografici sulle attività relative alla lavorazione dei raccolti. L'assenza di materiale di scarto della mietitura (pula e paglia) suggerisce che i cereali non venissero trasformati sul sito ma fossero portati da altri posti. Gli altri dati archeologici (ceramica, strutture, resti di fauna, ecc.), sebbene con qualche dubbio, suggeriscono anch'essi che il sito non fosse un normale villaggio agricolo.

Research at botanic gardens, from medieval times to the present day, has evolved to encompass a wide range of topics. The Minnesota Landscape Arboretum, part of the University of Minnesota, is an example of a diverse, successful research program within a public university garden setting. Collaboration, mission, organization, and publications are keys to a successful research program. Future research for public gardens, including putting collections to work for conservation, understanding global change, ecological genomics, restoration ecology, seed banking, and citizen science are collaborative ideas for all botanic gardens to consider. Research can strengthen the botanic garden's role by providing public value while improving ties to the university.

The aim of this paper is to provide evidence for three themes related to ‘botanical bosom serpents’, i.e. stories about plants growing in and on bodies. First, the sprouting of flowers from the body in medieval Christian tales, to be contrasted to ‘bottom flowers’ attested in Dutch profane paintings produced in the later Middle-Ages; second, the presence of botanical bosom serpent narratives in Japan; and, third, the topic of plants growing in, and on animals in oral traditions and works of natural history.

From farm to monastery to orphanage. The use plants on the grounds of the Roode Weeshuisstraat, Groningen. This paper focuses on the analysis of plant remains that were recovered from the archaeological excavations at the Roode Weeshuisstraat, in the city of Groningen (province of Groningen), which took place in 1990 and 1991. The excavation results revealed three different phases of occupation: early medieval farms, a late medieval monastery and an early-modern orphanage. Botanical samples were taken from different contexts belonging to these different phases in order to examine the diet of the different types of inhabitants (farmers, nuns and orphans).

Abstract The subject of this paper are the diary no- tes of the Bavarian botanist Otto Sendtner published in the German magazine "Das Ausland" regarding the medieval fortress of Srebrenik and the tradition about its fall under the Ottoman rule, which were completely unknown in the literature. This Munich university professor stayed in the Bosnian ejalet/Province in 1847, and on that occasion, he visited a significant number of cities, starting with Split, Livno and Travnik as the main destination. From the vizier's city and the seat of Ejalet, he went to Bosanska Posavina due to his botanical research, and on that occasion he passed through Srebrenik. Sendtner wrote in detail about the fortress, inspired by its features, and also left a note of local folklore tradition regarding its fall under the Ottomans, which deserves special attention. Also, in Send- tner's exposition, romantic narratives and orientalism ele-ments can be observed in the descriptions of the Srebrenik fortress and the landscape surrounding it, which can be attributed to the features of the imagi- nation about the Middle Ages presented in the European intellectual circles during the middle of the 19th century.

In the literature of medieval Turkish civilization, the concept of "sünbül" has a very rich variety of usage. This diversity has manifested itself in the humanities as well as in the natural and applied sciences, especially in Turkish poetry, where the concept of sünbül is widely used. How does the concept of sünbül differ between texts of natural and applied sciences and literature? In literary texts, it is necessary to investigate what is meant by the use of sünbül. In this study, we discussed what is meant by the use of sünbül in poetry by comparing the works created using Turkish in the Middle Ages in natural and applied sciences with the medieval Turkish poetry. In the literature of medieval Turkish civilization, the concept of "sünbül" is a concept used in the disciplines of botany, astrology and semiotics, as well as its use as a poetic image. In our study, a general viewpoint has been created to cover the definition and usage areas of the use of sünbül in the works of the Old Anatolian Turkish period, and in the conclusion part, all these uses and the values that the concept expresses. According to our findings, the use of "sünbül" in Turkish poetry is related to its terminology in the three disciplines. As a botanical term, a relation was established between the sünbül and the ideal woman's hair, and the pleasant scents of the plants known as sünbül in the Middle Ages, the filamentous structures seen in the root systems of these plants or, possibly, the inflorescence. As the term of astronomy, sünbül is meant by establishing a visual similarity with the concept of sünbül, which is used as a botanical term, and the modern sign of Virgo, called "sünbüle". As a semiotic term, the sünbül was used to indicate the perfect hair of the ideal woman, as well as the scent of this hair, it has also been mentioned among the elements that complement the beauty of a unique and celestial garden from time to time. This study also argues that in addition to the aforementioned forms of use, the establishment of the relationship between “sünbül” and “zülüf” is an evolved manifestation of the feeling of gratitude towards the goddesses of agriculture in Antiquity. Keywords: History of plants, Medieval astronomy, Medieval botany, Medieval semiology, spikenard.

Purpose. We aimed to examine the materials of the collection of iron weapons including a tip of a spear and various arrow tips gathered in the course of a scientific expedition across the territory of Western Siberia, Altai Steppes and Eastern Kazakhstan performed in 1840–1843 by a famous scientist, botanist, officer of the St. Petersburg Botanical Garden – Alexander Gustav von Schrenk. Results. The archaeological findings discovered by the researcher are kept in the Peter the Great Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography in the city of St. Petersburg. The iron tip of a spear and different iron arrow tips in the composition of that collection were examined and classified on formal grounds. They were divided into certain groups and types depending on characteristics of the section and shape of the feather of every tip. We proposed our reasoning for the chronology and cultural identity of these diverse artifacts, identified types of iron tips of the spear and arrow tips among the studied objects of armament. They were produced and used during diverse chronological periods when medieval nomadic peoples inhabiting the territory of Western Siberia, Altai Steppes and Eastern Kazakhstan could apply iron spears and arrows in the course of hostilities. We identified that the spear and various types of arrows analyzed in the composition of that collection could belong to warriors of different medieval ethnic groups. As a result of our analysis, the findings of armament were related to various chronological periods and definite weapon complexes. Different types of arrows were related to the material culture of the medieval peoples, who inhabited the territory of studied regions of Inner Asia during historical periods of the Early and High Middle Ages. The German scientists who were in the service of the Russian state described the primary events of the history of studying various archaeological objects related to the cultures of ancient and medieval nomadic people on the territory of the steppe region of Western Siberia and contiguous territories of Altai Steppes and Eastern Kazakhstan. Using methodologies of scientific research, we managed to analyze formal indicators of the artifacts and classify them into certain groups and types of objects of armament, including the iron spear tip and iron arrow tips that constituted an important part of the collection of archaeological findings considered. Conclusion. As a result of our scientific analysis, we have widen and complemented formerly known data on long-range and close combat armament object sets of the territory of Western Siberia, Altai Steppes, Northern and Eastern Kazakhstan during the Early and High Middle Ages.

The study presents the data obtained by palynological and microantrachological analyses of samples taken from the Medieval settlement recently unearthed (excavations directed by P. Pensabene) in the southern area of the renowned Villa del Casale of Piazza Armerina (Enna-Sicily). The aim of the work is to reconstruct the history of the natural and cultural vegetal landscape of the settlement and its sorroundings and to compile, based on pollen flora, a list of plants useful to restore the green setting of the site. Materials and methods – 42 samples from the Medieval settlement and from a related vertical profile were studied, covering a time span from the Byzantine age to modern age, plus a recent control sample (moss sample). Chronology is based on archaeological and somewhere palynological evidence. Results – The samples showed a satisfactory pollen concentration, a sufficient state of preservation and a remarkable floristic diversity (about 236 pollen taxa were identified). On the whole pollen shows an open hilly Mediterranean cultural landscape, largely devoted to meadows and pastures, testified by Cichorioideae, Gramineae and many other herbs (e.g. Aster type, Anthemis type, Leguminosae, Mentha type, Umbelliferae). Human influence is testified by a very strong forest clearance, already occurred in the Byzantine fase. Pollen flora anyway testifies wood remnants from different vegetation belts (e.g. Abies, Betula, Carpinus, Castanea, Fagus, Fraxinus ornus, Myrtus, deciduous Quercus, Q. cf. cerris, Q. cf. virgiliana, Quercus cf. ilex, Pinus cf. halepensis, P. indiff., Phyllirea, Pistacia, Ulmus, Tilia) and fresh water plant communities (Alnus, Butomus umbellatus, Carex, Myriophyllum, Nymphaea, Populus, Sagittaria, Salix, Typha angustifolia,etc.). Besides woody plants suitable for timber, pollen testified a number of useful plants, cultivated or exploited in the wild, for food, decoration or other uses (e.g. Avena-Triticum group, Beta, Corylus, Cynara cf., Hordeum group, Mentha, Nerium oleander, Olea, Platanus, Pinus cf. pinea, Prunus, Secale cereale, Thymus, Vitis ). Some records in the Middle age samples are worth noting: Pistacia vera (pistachios) and Syzygium aromaticum (cloves). Microcharcoals were consistent due to the continuous human activity in the settlement. Conclusion – The pollen history of the site shows a continuity of tradition during the time. Changes occurred, but the different cultures that followed one another during the time seem to have progressively intermingled in the practices and uses concerning plants and plant landscape. The most strong change occurs in the recent moss sample, affected by cultivation of different olive trees (compared with the past ones) and exotic plants ( Eucalyptus).

This thesis is a botanical reading of Chaucer’s Merchant’s Tale. Focusing on the climactic scene in which May, the young bride of January, declares her “sore” desire for “smale peres green” before engaging in adulterous sex with her husband’s servant, Damian, I intersect object-oriented ontological theory with aspects of medieval botany to garner an understanding of Chaucer’s ecological thought. Through this approach, I find that Chaucer demonstrates sensitivity to what Timothy Morton and Mel Chen describe as “queer ecology”: an emerging branch of eco-theory which explores queer challenges to heteronormativity in non-human ecologies and objects. In this way, Chaucer presents an important challenge to the church definitions of “Nature”—particularly as it was defined in Thomas Aquinas’s Summa Theologicae—that emerged during the thirteenth century. Thus, this thesis contributes to ongoing studies of animacy and non-human ecologies in medieval literature and complicates Timothy Morton’s exclusion of non-moderns from contemporary ecological theory.

This epilogue discusses the concept of Eden. In the absence of any consensus on where Eden is, interim Edens were created, from the circumscribed gardens in medieval abbey cloisters to the ambitious botanical and zoological microcosms of Renaissance kings. As the boundaries of the known world expanded, beginning in the Age of Discovery, these enclosed Edens gave way to eighteenth- and nineteenth-century paradises ever larger, seemingly limitless in their floral and faunal wonders. Throughout Western art, exotic flora and fauna have consistently dwelled in Eden. In medieval illuminations, the Tree of Life was typically a lush date palm, while the Tree of Knowledge was usually the golden orange, introduced to northern Europe from the Middle East via Muslim Spain.

The third chapter focuses on plants, in particular the way that the parable of the cockles among the wheat (Matthew 13:24–30) functioned in representing the St Brice’s Day massacre of 1002, when Æthelred ordered the killing of all the Danes among the English. The chapter considers the effect of comparing the English to wheat and the Scandinavians to weeds on an audience familiar with real cornfield weeds, their growth habits, and the controlled dangers of ingesting them. The chapter demonstrates that eleventh-century encounters with weeds, reading about weeds, and encounters with people represented as weeds mingle together on a continuum involving both discursive and material modes of being English. Rather than determining the metaphor, the botanical matter both reinforces and challenges it in interesting ways that would not have been lost on an early medieval English audience.

This chapter assesses the representation of exotica in European art. This depiction sheds considerable light on the constructs of veracity and the bounds of imagery, from the Middle Ages to the nineteenth century. In addition to their subsidiary but vital roles in historical landscape and commemorative narrative, exotica served as the principals in natural history illustration. Among the first works with detailed, if schematized, illuminations of flora and fauna were religious texts and medieval editions of ancient medical treatises. These largely didactic presentations of European plants and animals provided the pictorial structure for the earliest renderings of exotica. Whether artists drew them from life in the course of their travels, viewed them in menageries and botanical gardens, or based their illustrations on collections of dried or stuffed specimens, they placed their subjects against uniformly plain backgrounds. Land mammals, aquatic creatures, and plants were suspended in a pristine world, while birds were shown perched upon accessory branches.

The Pleistocene Epoch, often referred to as the Ice Age, lasted from approximately 2.6 million to 11,700 years ago. The last major ice advance began about 110,000 years ago, and the most recent episode of maximum ice coverage, the Last Glacial Maximum, began about 26,500 years ago and ended approximately 19,000 years ago. Thereafter, glacier retreat began, largely ending by about 11,700 years ago. That marked the beginning of the Holocene interglacial geologic epoch, which continues to the present. During the last glacial period, sea level was much lower because so much water was locked up in ice sheets, largely at the poles. This lowering of the sea level exposed the margins of the continents (the continental shelves) around the world. When the Ice Age ended, sea level started to rise during the deglacial period, a process that continued into the Holocene. Deltaic regions received meltwaters from the thawing glaciers, along with glacier- derived sediments. Of particular note in the late Holocene is a climate episode called the Medieval Warm Period, originally identified by the English botanist Hubert Lamb. The Medieval Warm Period was a time of warm climate in the North Atlantic region and may have also impacted other areas around the world. It lasted from about the years 950 to 1250. Later in this chapter, I will discuss this climate anomaly, along with something called the “Hockey Stick” debate, which relates to exceptional warming during recent centuries of the Holocene (i.e., global warming). In any case, all modern and paleodeltas formed during periods of peak sea level in the Holocene. These new deltas had fertile soils that were constantly irrigated by the flow of fresh water, which promoted early settlement by humans. So, the Holocene started near the end of the retreat of the Pleistocene glaciers, and human civilizations arose entirely in the Holocene Epoch. To view the Holocene, simply look around you today. In this chapter, I will explore the natural and human-induced causes of global climate change and how they impact deltaic regions.
