I am looking for archaeobotanical
attestations of Spartium junceum L. (period, place, contextŠ), a
plant used as a textile and mentioned in the texts (XVI-XIXth
centuries for the South of France).
And does anyone know wether the mention of this taxa in Muller 2003
(Die Kleidung nach Quellen des frühen Mittelalters) was an
identification, based on seeds, fibers, cloth, or only a textual
attestation ?
thanks in advance
best regards
Lucie
