The effect of seaweed fertilisation on sulfur isotope ratios (δ34S) and grain size in barley: implications for agronomy and archaeological research

Frontiers in Environmental Archaeology
IntroductionStable sulfur isotope ratios (δ34S) in bone collagen are often employed to study the consumption of marine and freshwater fish, wetland grazing, marine foraging patterns, and the possible geographic origins of food sources.

Preservation of stable isotopic composition in charred grains: Implications for paleoenvironmental and archeological research

Journal of Quaternary Science, Volume 40, Issue 4, Page 645-656, May 2025.
ABSTRACT The charring process can preserve archaeobotanical remains, providing valuable insights into past climates, agricultural practices, and plant growth conditions. However, the impact of charring on stable isotopes, especially at temperatures above 300°C, remains poorly understood.

Feeding Anglo-Saxon England: a bioarchaeological dataset for the study of early medieval agriculture (Data paper)

Internet Archaeology, 2023
The FeedSax project combined bioarchaeological data with evidence from settlement archaeology to investigate how, when and why the expansion of arable farming occurred between the 8th-13th centuries in England. It has generated and released a vast, multi-

Orphan crops of archaeology‐based crop history research

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 562-589, May 2025.
Agrobiodiversity is central to sustainable farming worldwide. Cultivation, conservation and reintroduction of diverse plant species, including ‘forgotten’ and ‘underutilized’ crops, contribute to global agrobiodiversity, living ecosystems and sustainable food production.

Studium současné vegetace v Súdánu jako důležitý nástroj pro interpretaci archeobotanických výzkumů v severovýchodní Africe // Investigation of recent vegetation in the Sudan as an important tool for further archaeobotanical reconstructions in North-eastern Africa [PDF]

Pražské Egyptologické Studie, 2015
Attempts at reconstructing past environments are an important part of archaeobotanical investigations. However, any interpretation of archaeobotanical data must be, among other things, based on a detailed knowledge of species behaviour in recent ...

Forgetting cane grasses: Switching temporal focus to reveal mosaics of Saccharum diversity

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 7, Issue 3, Page 590-602, May 2025.
Sugarcane (Saccharum cvs.) is one of the most important cash crops globally. Related varieties and species of cane grasses of the genus Saccharum are also important subsistence crops in the Indo‐Pacific region. Despite the significance of these crops globally and recent advances in genetic characterisation, the histories and geographies of ...
