CULTIVATORS OR SHEPHERDS? <br /> NEW ARCHAEOBOTANICAL DATA REGARDING PLANTS CULTIVATION WITHIN AENEOLITHIC-BRONZE AGE COMMUNITIES, LOCATED IN THE <br /> ROMANIAN INTRACARPATHIAN AREA<br />
Journal Title: Acta Terrae Septemcastrensis - Year 2009, Vol 8, Issue 1
Abstract
The article presents new archaeobotanical data regarding the plant species, which were included in the human diet of the communities from Aeneolithic-Bronze Age, located in the Romanian Intracarpathian area. The archaeobotanical data have been sampled from four archaeological sites dated in the period mentioned above. Our results are extremely important in the attempt of reconstructing the vegetal diet of these prehistoric communities, especially because, until now, these data did not exist. The lack of these archaeobotanical data made many archaeologists release the hypothesis according to which the main occupation of these communities was animal breeding rather than plants cultivation.
