TL;DR: An extensive programme of AMS-dating of charred broomcorn millet grains from 75 prehistoric sites in Europe provides a new, high-resolution chronological framework for this key agricultural development that likely contributed to far-reaching changes in lifestyle in late 2nd millennium bc Europe.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pollen and macroremains from Holocene archaeological sites: A dataset for the understanding of the bio-cultural diversity of the Italian landscape
Anna Maria Mercuri,Emilia Allevato,Daniele Arobba,Marta Mazzanti,Giovanna Bosi,Rosanna Caramiello,Elisabetta Castiglioni,Maria Letizia Carra,Alessandra Celant,Lorenzo Costantini,Gaetano Di Pasquale,Girolamo Fiorentino,Assunta Florenzano,Mariangela Guido,Marco Marchesini,Marta Mariotti Lippi,Silvia Marvelli,Antonella Miola,Carlo Alessandro Montanari,Renato Nisbet,Leonor Peña-Chocarro,Renata Perego,Renata Perego,Cesare Ravazzi,Mauro Rottoli,Laura Sadori,Mariano Ucchesu,Rossella Rinaldi +27 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors report on the census of the Holocene archaeological sites that have been studied as part of archaeobotany in Italy (continental Italy, the Italian peninsula and islands) over the last quarter in a century.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Significance of Intestinal Parasite Remains in Pollen Samples from Medieval Pits in the Piazza Garibaldi of Parma, Emilia Romagna, Northern Italy
Assunta Florenzano,Anna Maria Mercuri,Aurora Pederzoli,Paola Torri,Giovanna Bosi,Linda Olmi,Rossella Rinaldi,Marta Mazzanti +7 more
TL;DR: Analysis of animal and plant remains identified in the same samples suggested that the pit infillings consisted of waste, human and animal excrements, deteriorated plant food, and refuse of grapes, therefore, parasite remains help the interpretation of archaeobotanical data in identifying human behaviors and site functions.
