Abstract

The article considers the archeobotanical materials from the fortifi ed settlements of the Milograd culture population. The three sites are located in Gomel region along the river Dnieper, and date to the 6th – 3d cc. BC. The paleobotanical collections are represented by imprints of plant seeds on pottery fragments (table 1, 2). Laboratory research showed that the pottery contained the imprints of fi ve cultivated and three weed species of plants. Among the cereals, millet (Panicum miliaceumL.) prevails, after which come wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) and barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). There are two species of leguminous plants: pea (Pisum sativum L.) and bean (Viciafaba L.) (table 3). Weeds are represented by seeds of lady’s thumb (Polygonum persicaria L.), green foxtail (Setardia viridis L. Beauv.) and low foxtail (Setaria pumila (Pair.) Roem. Et Schult.). The Milograd potters used’ the plant additions (seeds of millet, wheat, barley, pea, bean and weeds) intentionally. All in all, crockery containing the aforementioned plant additions constitutes 1% at each of the three settlements (table 2, 3).
