A probable food plant found in a carbonised state is Malus sylvestris (Bakels 1991), while probable food plants in a waterlogged state are Corylus avellana, Malus sylvestris

Table 7.1 shows the identifications of presumably unworked wood from Late Mesolithic and Early and Middle Neolithic wetland sites for which data are available (N = 11) in order

This chapter aims firstly to investigate the indications of human impact in pollen and macroremains diagrams from the studied Late Mesolithic and Early and Middle Neolithic

The indications of the gathering (use) of these taxa show that the collection of wild food plants continued after the introduction of crop plants in France (at least at this

Selection of sites of the Swifterbant culture and Hazendonk group, frequency classes of carbonised macroremains of potential arable weeds that were found in a relative high

The presented arguments on the importance of crop plants indicate that emmer and naked barley were incorporated in the common domestic subsistence practices of the Swifterbant
