Description:

Archaeobotanical analyses of 9 sediment samples (8 contexts) yielded 469 charred and mineralised seed and fruit remains andal and wood fragments. An assemblage of approximately 50 plant taxa contain many useful plants and is used to reconstruct the vegetation in the vicinity of the site. The proportion of individual cereals seems to correspond with the “early medieval standard” for Czech Republic, with the dominance of naked wheat (Triticum aestivum typ.) in carbonised and high proportion of millet (Panicum miliaceum) in mineralised subassemblage. Wild plants (mostly ruderal and segetal species) document the existence of synanthropic habitats in open, non‑forested landscape. The taxa determination of charcoal and wood remains provide evidence that oak has been used as the most important fuel wood and construction timber. Wood for fuel and construction were obtained predominantly from mesophilic oak woodland with hornbeam and from alluvial hardwood forests, both strongly affected by human impact.
