Iron Age and Roman plants and people. Reference list of reference collections. March 21, 2016. I recently helped organise the Integrated Microscopy Approaches in Archaeobotany workshop. Some other useful resources are the minutes of a 2010 AWG meeting. And a very detailed article. By Mark Nesbitt in Circaea 1991 discussing how to build a reference collection. Historic England, Fort Cumberland. Of 4500 seeds and fruits, mainly British specimens. Also wood, charcoal, mosses and fibres. I’m sure there...

https://lisalodwick.wordpress.com/2014/10
Iron Age and Roman plants and people. October 30, 2014. November 4, 2014. In Late Iron Age. Over the last few years I’ve been trying to establish what kind of arable farming was practiced at Late Iron Age Silchester. This is important as it in informs us about the people living in the Late Iron Age oppidum (were they farmers or craftsmen? And how the community was organised (did people work together on the fields every day, or did they keep themselves to themselves? So what is going on in the surrounding...

Iron Age and Roman plants and people. The Corncockle Kerfuffle – the Archaeobotanical Evidence. August 27, 2014. August 28, 2014. Has been hitting the news in recent weeks, as Countryfile has been accused by The Telegraph. For promoting the distribution of poisonous seeds via Kew Garden’s Grow Wild. Project. The over reaction has been called out by the Guardian online. And in a great blog post by Miles King. In the Netherlands seed atlas. The triangular tips of the seed capsule. There hasn’t been a...

Roman plant Introductions to Britain and Gardeners’ Question Time – Lisa Lodwick
https://lisalodwick.wordpress.com/2014/03/14/roman-plant-introductions-to-britain-and-gardeners-question-time
Iron Age and Roman plants and people. Roman plant Introductions to Britain and Gardeners’ Question Time. March 14, 2014. As an archaeobotanist, I study plant remains from archaeological sites, usually seeds, cereal grains, fruit stones and leaves. A part of my research focuses on how diets changed from the Late Iron Age to the Roman periods in Britain. Did the prehistoric inhabitants adopt new fruits and flavourings before they became part of the Roman empire in AD43? Is open-access, published in the Int...

Roman nettle – Urtica pilulifera – Lisa Lodwick
https://lisalodwick.wordpress.com/2014/04/10/romannettle
Iron Age and Roman plants and people. Roman nettle – Urtica pilulifera. April 10, 2014. November 4, 2014. First things first, what is. A quick flick through Clive Staces’ New flora of the British Isles (1997) shows Roman nettle used to occur as a casual in southern Britain, but does not occur any more. Next stop, the Online Atlas of the British Flora. No mention of Roman nettle, neither is there in Preston et al’s 2004 article on archaeophytes in Britain. Flora Europaea. With Romney, Kent by arguing that...
