Archaeobotanical analysis of the waste-vault infill from Vladislav Hall, Prague castle
IRMIŠOVÁ, Jitka
The archaeobotanical analysis of the waste infill contributed to understanding its origin and composition based of two types of sample extraction. Large amount of desiccated botanical marco-remains was determinated. Beside of the common taxa rare imported species were also captured. Some of them are the first determinations in Central Europe; one case is the first evidence in Europe at all. The richness and uniqueness of the archaeobotanical collection declare the high society status, economical and cultural centre of the Prague castle in the early modern period.
The archeobotanical research of the Early Modern waterlogged cesspit in Prague-Celetná street and possibilities of photography documentation
IRMIŠOVÁ, Jitka
Based on the macroremains analysis from Early Modern waste filling of the well in Prague Celetná street, dietary habits of Prague dwellers and the character of the city environment from the second quarter of the 18th century to the early 20th century were constructed. In total 44 015 macroremains were found, of which only 2 707 diasporas were wild-growing species. Strong predominance of crop confirmed hypothesis of well-into-cesspit transformation at the end of the 18th century. The species such as Nicotiana rustica, Piper nigrum and Ocimum basilicum, not commonly occurring in the archeological objects were recorded. The changes of the diaspora external structure influenced by their long-term deposition under anaerobic conditions were examined by electron microscopy method. A difference in subtle damage to the distinct diaspora structure along with the rate of diaspora organic pollution was noted.
