Dear listmembers, From the Netherlands, there are five sites with finds of Origanum vulgare (one Early Iron Age, 800-500 cal BC and four Roman Period 12BC-450AD but more closely dated within that range). Besides there is one find of remains identified as Origanum majorana/vulgare from an enbalmed body of a member of the Dutch royal family (published in the proceedings of the last IWGP in Sheffield, Vegetation History and Archaeobotany). (Data in RADAR, see VHA 4: 117-125) Best regards, oTTo >>> [log in to unmask] 11/12 6:34 >>> Hi all, I'm working on a review paper of the history of oregano, and am looking for archaeological and ethnohistoric evidence/reports of oregano use in Europe and the mediterranean.
