    Identification of cereal remains from archaeological sites 2nd edition 2006 Spikelet fork of the “new glume wheat” (Jones et al. 2000) Stefanie JACOMET and collaborators Archaeobotany Lab IPAS, Basel University English translation partly by James Greig CEREALS: CEREALIA Fam. Poaceae /Gramineae (Grasses) Systematics and Taxonomy All cereal species belong botanically (taxonomically) to the large family of the Gramineae (Poaceae). This is one of the largest Angiosperm families with >10 000 different species. In the following the systematics for some of the most imporant taxa is shown: class: Monocotyledoneae order: Poales familiy: Poaceae (= Gramineae) (Süssgräser) subfamily: Pooideae Tribus: Triticeae Subtribus: Triticinae genera: Triticum (Weizen, wheat); Aegilops ; Hordeum (Gerste; barley); Elymus; Hordelymus; Agropyron; Secale (Roggen, rye) Note : Avena and the millets belong to other Tribus. The identification of prehistoric cereal remains assumes understanding of different subject areas in botany. These are mainly morphology and anatomy, but also phylogeny and evolution (and today, also genetics). Since most of the cereal species are treated as domesticated plants, many different forms such as subspecies, varieties, and forms appear inside the genus and species (see table below). In domesticates the taxonomical category of variety is also called “sort” (lat. cultivar, abbreviated: cv.). This refers to a variety which evolved through breeding. Cultivar is the lowest taxonomic rank in the domesticated plants. Occasionally, cultivars are also called races: e.g. landraces evolved through genetic isolation, under local environmental conditions whereas „high-breed-races“ were breed by strong selection of humans. Anyhow: The morphological delimitation of cultivars is difficult, sometimes even impossible. It needs great experience and very detailed morphological knowledge.

  • Zürcherische Naturschutzobjekte Von Nationaler Wissenschaftlicher Bedeutung
    Zürcherische Naturschutzobjekte von nationaler wissenschaftlicher Bedeutung 1. Einleitung Von HANS LEIBUNDGUT Die Vorstände der SChweizerischen Vereinigung für Heimatschutz und des Schweizerischen Bundes für Naturschutz haben im Jahre 1955 beschlossen, ein Verzeichnis von Landschaften und Naturdenkmälern aufzustellen, welche zum Wohle des ganzen Landes unbedingt erhalten werden müssen. Die Naturschutz- kommissionen der Naturforschenden Gesellschaften und die Sektionen der Ver- einigung für Heimatschutz wurden deshalb eingeladen, Objekte auszuwählen und vorzuschlagen. Nachdem seit einigen Jahren im Kanton Zürich eine Sektion des Schweize- rischen Bundes für Naturschutz besteht, welche sich allgemeine naturschütze- rische Ziele setzt, durfte sich die Naturschutzkommission der Naturforschenden Gesellschaft in Zürich auf die Auswahl der Objekte von nationaler w i s s e n - s c h a f t 1 i c h e r Bedeutung beschränken. Damit sollte jedoch der Wert regional oder lokal bedeutsamer oder der aus rein ästhetischen, ideellen und namentlich sozialen Erwägungen schutzwürdigen Objekte nicht als zweitrangig dargestellt werden, denn in unserem stark industrialisierten und dicht besiedel- ten Kanton ist ein allgemeiner und umfassender Landschafts- und Naturschutz längst von allergrösster Wichtigkeit. Unsere Vorschläge erstrecken sich aus- schliesslich auf Objekte, welche in gesamtschweizerischer Betrachtung wissen- schaftlich unersetzbar erscheinen oder für die Zürcher Hochschulen eine ganz besondere Rolle spielen. Für jedes vorgeschlagene Objekt wurde ein wissenschaftliches Gutachten ausgearbeitet, so für die Sihllandschaft bei Hütten, Schönenberg, Hirzel; das Neeracher Ried; die Maschwander Allmend; das Robenhauser Ried; einen Teil der Albiskette und des Reppischtales; den Katzensee; den Rheinfall; die Lägernkette mit einzelnen besonderen Schutzobjekten; die Drumlinlandschaft bei Wetzikon. Diese Gutachten dürften von allgemeinem Interesse sein und werden deshalb in etwas gekürzter Form veröffentlicht.

Eberwein The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2019 Under the Supervision of Professor Bettina Arnold Museum collections excavated from archaeological sites represent an intersection of disciplines and provoke innovative approaches to the study of these material aspects of culture. Botanical collections of food remains in particular, provide an opportunity to interrogate the way in which culinary practices in the past are understood. The circum-Alpine lake dwelling complex of central Europe includes hundreds of archaeological sites dating to the Neolithic, Bronze, and Iron Age; many of these sites are known for exceptional preservation of organic material due to a waterlogged, anaerobic environment.

  • Zurich-Alpenquai: a Multidisciplinary Approach to the Chronological Development of a Late Bronze Age Lakeside Settlement in the Northern Circum-Alpine Region
    Journal of Wetland Archaeology 12, 2012, 58–85 Zurich-Alpenquai: a multidisciplinary approach to the chronological development of a Late Bronze Age lakeside settlement in the northern Circum-Alpine Region Philipp Wiemann, Marlu Kühn, Annekäthi Heitz-Weniger, Barbara Stopp, Benjamin Jennings, Philippe Rentzel and Francesco Menotti Abstract The Alpenquai lake-dwelling is located on Lake Zurich, and can be considered as one of the rare Late Bronze Age lake-dwellings with a pronounced organic-rich cultural layer in the northern Circum-Alpine region. Within a larger research project, investigating the final abandonment of the lakeshores in the Circum-Alpine area at the end of the Late Bronze Age, this settlement has been investigated using a multidisciplinary research design. Combining micromorphology, archaeobotany, palynology, archaeozoology and material culture studies, the formation of the site is reconstructed, and the reasons for its final abandonment are sought. A highly dynamic lake system that caused a lake water level rise before 900 BC, a regression in the second half of the 9th century BC, and a later transgression, could be detected. The settlement appears to have been established during the lake regression, and abandoned during the transgression, proving a high degree of environmental adaptation by its inhabitants.

  • Zug-Riedmatt (Canton of Zug, Switzerland) – a Key to Chronology and Metallurgy in the Second Half of the Fourth Millennium BC
    The copper axe blade of Zug-Riedmatt (Canton of Zug, Switzerland) – a key to chronology and metallurgy in the second half of the fourth millennium BC Eda Gross, Gishan Schaeren & Igor Maria Villa Abstract - The copper axe blade discovered in the pile dwelling site of Zug-Riedmatt is one of the few Neolithic copper axe blades in Eu- rope that can be dated with certainty. The blade’s form and its metal composition suggest that it is connected both to the south – more specifically to Copper Age cultures in northern Italy and southern Tuscany – and to the copper axe of the famous ice mummy of Tisenjoch (called ‘the Iceman’ or ‘Ötzi’). We were able to confirm this connection to the south by measuring the lead isotope composition of the blade, which traces the blade’s origin to Southern Tuscany. Due to these links to the south, the copper axe blade of Zug-Riedmatt can be de- scribed as a key to understanding Neolithic metallurgy north of the Alps in the second half of the fourth millennium BC. As the classification of the blade will have far-reaching consequences in regard to chronology and cultural history, we have decided to make the results of our analyses available as quickly as possible – even if this means that for now we can only discuss some basic results and assumptions about the blade’s context. Key words – archaeology; Circum-Alpine region; chalcolithic; pile dwelling; copper axe; metallurgy; lead isotopes; LA-ICP-MS; MC-ICP- MS; Horgen; Remedello; Rinaldone; Tuscany; Iceman Titel - Die Kupferbeilklinge von Zug-Riedmatt, Kanton Zug, Schweiz ‒ ein Schlüsselfund zu Chronologie und Metallurgie der zweiten Hälfte des 4.

  • Studying Habitats and Dynamical Interaction in Neolithic Europe Through the Material Culture of Pile Dwellings
    Estudos do Quaternário, 11, APEQ, Braga, 2014, pp. 39-44 http://www.apeq.pt/ojs/index.php/apeq. STUDYING HABITATS AND DYNAMICAL INTERACTION IN NEOLITHIC EUROPE THROUGH THE MATERIAL CULTURE OF PILE DWELLINGS J. VERDONKSCHOT (1) Abstract: The Early Neolithic in Europe is one of the most dynamic and significant periods of prehistory. However, there are still many questions waiting to be answered. Pile dwellings can shed a light on this case as these sites and their material have been preserved exceptionally well due to the humid conditions of their location. Besides from this global aim they also offer the possibility of comparing several settlements extensively, including data such as architecture, tools and diet as well as the more traditional ceramic remains. This article proposes a line of investigation in which several Case Studies from different areas (the Alps, Northern Spain and Central Italy) are studied. These Case Studies consist of a specific area, including a lakeside settlement that forms the basis, and nearby contemporaneous sites. The areas are assessed based on the found archaeological record and in terms of their social organization and connections. Secondly, the dynamic relations between said areas are addressed in order to study connectivity and contact in Early Neolithic Europe. Above all this study promotes a different way of investigating, abandoning the single-site perspective, no longer looking exclusively for differences but adopting a slightly different vision and linking different sites and places. Keywords: Early Neolithic, Pile dwellings, Habitats, Interaction Resumen: Estudiando hábitats y interacción dinámica en el neolítico europeo a través de la cultura material de los palafitos El neolitico antiguo de Europa es uno de los momentos más dinámicos y significativos de la prehistoria, sin embargo todavía quedan muchas preguntas.
