Dr. João Pedro Vicente Tereso, from the CIBIO-InBIO, University of Porto, will hold the talk:
‘Long-term dynamics in vegetation, agriculture, and human societies: from the last hunter-gatherers until de 21st century in northeast Portugal’.
Abstract:
The construction of two dams in the lower course of the river Sabor (Northeast Portugal) led to the excavation of numerous sites and unprecedented archaeobotanical research, comprising contexts from the Mesolithic to the 19th century. The charcoal analysis and carpological studies conducted allowed the identification of major trends in vegetation history and agriculture in this long time span, with a particular focus on Bronze Age, Iron Age and Roman Period. The apparent continuity in agriculture choices and vegetation contrast with changes in human settlements in the valley, highlighting the need for an integrated interpretation of archaeobotanical and archaeological evidence.
Keywords: Archaeobotany, Holocene, Agriculture, Vegetation history, Northwest Iberia.
