Analize biljnih ostataka s arheoloških lokaliteta vrlo su važan segment rekonstrukcije ekonomije prošlih populacija, što je osobito slučaj s pretpovijesnim lokalitetima na kojima se rijetko očuvaju drugi segmenti svakodnevnih aktivnosti. U tekstu su prikazani rezultati i interpretacija biljnih ostataka s četiri novoistraživana lokaliteta Đakovštine, i to s obzirom na kulture neolitika i bakrenog doba. Starčevačka kultura ustanovljena je na lokalitetu Pajtenica-Velike Livade, sopotska na lokalitetu Ivandvor-Šuma Gaj, lasinjska na lokalitetima Pajtenica-Velike Livade i Jurjevac-Stara Vodenica, a kostolačka kultura na lokalitetu Đakovo-Franjevac. Biljni ostaci raspoređeni su u sedam kategorija koje sadrže podskupine, određene prema vrsti biljke, a podjela se temelji na konkretnim nalazima s navedenih lokaliteta. S obzirom na to da su lokaliteti u istoj mikroregiji, mogla se napraviti usporedba rezultata s obzirom na vrijeme i kulturne pojave. Najmanji broj vrsta ustanovljen je analizama ostataka pripisanih najranijoj, starčevačkoj, a najveći najkasnijoj, kostolačkoj kulturi (najširispektar žitarica, mahunarki, trava i voća). Rezultati analiza pokazuju kontinuitet u korištenju žitarica, poput pšenice i ječma, kao i divljih vrsta, kroz razdoblja neolitika i eneolitika, ali se s vremenom taj spektar i povećava. U kontekstu s drugim vrstama nalaza s lokaliteta, biljni ostaci ukazuju na postojanje intenzivne/vrtne zemljoradnje te na to da su biljke obrađivane u proučavanim naseljima.Analysis of plant remains from archaeological sites is an extremely important procedure in reconstructing the economies of past populations, which is especially the case with prehistoric sites, where other aspects of everyday life are rarely preserved. In this paper, the author presents the results and interpretations of analysis of plant remains from four newly excavated sites in the Đakovo region, with respect to archaeological cultures dated to the Neolithic and Copper Age periods. The Starčevo culture is present at Pajtenica-Velike Livade, the Sopot culture at Ivandvor-Šuma Gaj, the Lasinja culture at Pajtenica-Velike Livade and Jurjevac-Stara Vodenica, and the Kostolac culture at Đakovo-Franjevac. Plant remains are placed in seven categories which contain subgroups according to plant species, and the division is based on finds from the aforementioned sites. Since the sites are in the same micro-region, it was possible to compare results with respect to period and culture. The fewest plant remains were found in the context of the earliest, Starčevo, culture, and the most (widest spectrum of grains, pulses, weeds and fruits) in the most recent, Kostolac, culture. The finds show continuity in the use of cereals such as wheat and barley, as well as wild species throughout the Neolithic and Copper Age, but the spectrum widens with the passage of time. In combination with other types of finds from the sites, the plant remains suggest the existence of intensive or garden, rather than extensive, agriculture, and that plants were processed inside the settlements studied
