Bibliography: Archaeobotanical Reports from Sites in the Near East

Posted: 07 Dec 2012 06:10 AM PST

Archaeobotanical Reports from Sites in the Near East
Compiled by Naomi F. Miller
I am trying to compile a comprehensive bibliography of archaeobotanical site reports from the Near East. Right now I can e-mail text files for the bibliographies of Central Asia and beyond, Iran, Iraq, the Levant, Syria, Turkey, and the index organized by site. I'd appreciate hearing about references I have not listed. See contact information below. Thanks.

In order to access documents from 'doi', go to the website http://dx.doi.org/ and type in the full document number.

Database: Photos of charred plant remains from early agriculture sites in the Near East

Photos of charred plant remains from early agriculture sites in the Near East
George Willcox
These pages contain photos and drawings of sub-fossil charred plant remains from archaeological sites in the Fertile Crescent (compiled by George Willcox, Sandra Fornite & Linda Herveux in conjunction a European Research Project nÂșICA3-CT-2002-10022 and ArchĂ©orient (UMR 5133) of the CNRS.

The study of the birth of farming and vegetation history in the Near East at the end of the Pleistocene and the beginning of the Holocene relies on accurate identifications of charred plant remains. We present here photos and drawings of charred sub-fossil plant remains from sites including Jerf el Ahmar, Tell Qaramel and Dja'de; (in some cases we include modern equivalents, numbers given after the site names refer to sample numbers). 

Important points concerning the identifications
1) Exact species identification in many cases is not possible due to a) morphological variability, b) species diversity, c) the effect of charring and d) perhaps evolutionary changes. 2) Often the testa is missing from seeds so that 3) identification may rely on the internal seed structure. 4) Hard thick-coated seeds survive preferentially and are over represented compared to fragile seeds. 

We have included a few drawings taken from publications of W. van Zeist and G. Hillman; bibliographical references are given on the appropriate pages.

Ancient Grains: The website of Delwen Samuel and Mark Nesbitt
http://www.ancientgrains.org/Ancient_Grains_Nbanner.gif
We both work in archaeobotany - studying the archaeology of plants. Delwen Samuel's interests include bread and beer in ancient Egypt, cereals and nutrition in the Old World, and food microscopy and other techniques of residue analysis. She is based in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Kings College London. Mark Nesbitt's interests are in the prehistory and history of plant use in the Near East, especially Turkey, in all aspects of wheat and other Old World cereals, and in the beginnings of farming. Although still publishing in these areas, his day job is on current-day aspects of botany at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew.

On our website you can find out more about our work, and the places where we have done fieldwork, and download our publications. We would be glad to receive copies or PDFs of your publications.
