Carbonized cereals from the Udbina – Gradina site and the overview of evidence of crop cultivation in the medieval and post-medieval periods in Croatia
Udbina – Gradina je jedini lokalitet iz razdoblja kasnog srednjeg (15. stoljeće) – novog vijeka (16. – 17. stoljeće) s većom količinom arheobotaničkih ostataka do sada analiziran na području hrvatske. na lokalitetu je nađena veća količina krupnozrnih žitarica u čijem sastavu je najdominantnija nepljevičasta pšenica (Triticum aestivum grupa) te manja količina korovnih primjesa. napravljen je pregled karpoloških rezultata do sada istraženih i objavljenih srednjo- i novovjekovnih lokaliteta na području hrvatske te usporedba s novoistraženim lokalitetom udbinske Gradine.Udbina – Gradina is the only site from the Late Middle Ages (15th century) to the Post-Medieval Period (16th–17th century) with a considerable amount of archaeobotanical remains analysed so far in Croatia. A significant quantity of large-grain cereals was found onsite, the most dominant of which was free-threshing wheat (Triticum aestivum group), as well as a smaller quantity of weed admixtures. We present an overview of the carpological results of the thus far researched and published medieval and post-medieval sites in Croatia and provide a comparison with the newly researched site of Udbina – Gradina
