Dear Welmoud, we have in Bruszczewo, Western Poland, lots of carbonized material (barley and emmer, acorns) in an Alnus-forest. Very strange. -------------------------------------------------- Am 7 Apr 2010 um 15:36 hat Welmoed Out geschrieben: Dear colleagues, Does anyone know an archaeological parallel for the hearth of the wetland site Bergschenhoek (c. 4100 BC, The Netherlands) in which both uncarbonised and carbonised botanical macroremains of primarily reed marsh vegetation remained preserved? I am looking for parallels for a better understanding of site formation, deposition processes and plant use. The hearth at Bergschenhoek was built of layers of carbonised material, uncabronised reed and reed mud (detritus/fine organic material) (see photo), representing various use phases. The site was located in an eutrophic reed marsh environment surrounded by open water. Apart from reed vegetation and disturbance indicators, remains of some presumably collected food plants were found. The site including the hearth remained preserved under waterlogged conditions.
