Hi Otto,
I have both of these papers – should I ask the
student assistant to make copies and sent them?
We don’t seem to have Sinapis
alba here around!
Yours, Stefi

Betreff: Sinapis alba from the
Roman Period
Dear colleagues,
White mustard (Sinapis alba) is a rare
phenomenon in Northwestern Europe during the Roman Period. The discovery of
several seeds in the Dutch site Leiden-Roomburg has led me to a short search
for parallels. The VHA overviews of archaeobotanical literature by Kroll
mention (at least...) two relevant publications:
Dickson C (1994) Macroscopic fossils of garden plants from British Roman
and medieval deposits. In: Moe E, Dickson JH, Jorgensen PM (eds), Garden
plants, species, forms and varities from Pompeii to 1800. Pact 42, Rixensart,
Belgium, pp 47-72
Knörzer K-H, Gerlach R, Meurers-Balke J, Kalis AJ, Tegtmeier U, Becker
WD, Jürgens A (1999) Pflanzenspuren. Archäobotanik im Rheinland:
Agrarlandschaft und Nutzpflanzen im Wandel der Zeiten. Mat Bodendenkmalpflege
Rheinland 10. Köln - Bonn, 185 pp
My
problem now is that I have access here to neither of them. My first question
concerns the locations and dates mentioned for Sinapis alba in these two
publications (the first one even might be only medieval). The second question
is if there are any other finds circulating in our community from the Roman
Period in Northwestern Europe.
With
kind regards,
oTTo
