Over the centuries: Long-term crop selection and diversity at Freixo/Tongobriga (Northwest Iberia)

Abstract

Abstrac: Freixo/Tongobriga (Marco de Canaveses, Northwest Portugal) is an archaeological site on a vast hill near the Tâmega and Douro rivers. It was an important Roman city, well-known for its monumental buildings (e.g. Forum, Baths). Nonetheless, excavations have shown that the area was occupied for a longer time span. In this paper, archaeobotanical results from two areas will be addressed – Wall and Housing Complex I – comprising three contexts – Wall South Section, Impluvium house and Round hut. These encompass a wide time period ranging from the Iron Age to the Late Antiquity. Results from the fruits and seeds analyses showed an assemblage dominated by cereals. The grains of broomcorn millet (Panicum miliaceum), and foxtail millet (Setaria italica) were predominant, followed by spelt (Triticum spelta). Hulled barley (Hordeum vulgare), naked wheat (Triticum aestivum/durum), rye (Secale cereale) and oat (Avena sp.) were scarce. A diverse set of fruits was collected, although in small amounts. The analysis of new and previous archaeobotanical assemblages in connection with other archaeological information and several radiocarbon determinations provided crucial information about crop selection and diversity at Freixo/Tongobriga through time.Keywords: Fruits/Seeds, Cereals, Northwest Iberia, Iron Age, Late Antiquity Resumo: Freixo/Tongobriga (Marco de Canaveses, Noroeste de Portugal) é um sítio arqueológico localizado numa extensa colina, próxima aos rios Tâmega e Douro. Foi uma importante cidade romana, bem conhecida pelos seus edifícios monumentais (p. ex. Fórum, Termas). Não obstante, escavações demostraram que a área foi ocupada por um período de tempo mais longo. Neste artigo serão abordados os resultados arqueobotânicos de duas áreas – Muralha e Área Habitacional I -, compreendidas por três contextos – Tramo Sul da Muralha, Casa do Impluvium, Casa Circular. Estes abrangem um amplo período de tempo entre a Idade do Ferro e a Antiguidade Tardia. Os resultados da análise carpológica demonstraram um conjunto dominado por cereais. Os grãos de milho-miúdo (Panicum miliaceum) e de milho-painço (Setaria italica) foram predominantes, seguidos do trigo espelta (Triticum spelta). A cevada (Hordeum vulgare), o trigo de grão nu (Triticum aestivum/durum), o centeio (Secale cereale) e a aveia (Avena sp.) foram escassos. Foi recolhido um conjunto diverso de frutos, embora em pequenas quantidades. A análise de prévios e novos conjuntos arqueobotânicos, em conexão com outros dados arqueológicos e várias datações por radiocarbono, providenciaram informações cruciais sobre diversidade e seleção de cultivos em Freixo/Tongobriga ao longo do tempo.Palavras-chave: Frutos e Sementes, Cereais, Noroeste Ibérico, Idade do Ferro, Antiguidade Tardia
