Distribution of quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) and common medlar (Mespilus germanica L.) in the Czech Republic: the first approach
VEJBOROVÁ, Tereza
Quince (Cydonia oblonga Mill.) and medlar (Mespilus germanica L.) are not indigenous species in the Czech Republic. However, both taxa are cultivated there for a long time. Quince probably originates from Iraq, Caucasus, Asia Minor and partly from Arabian Peninsula. Medlar is probably native in south-east Europe and Armenia, probably from other parts of Caucasus and north Iraq, too. Both species have uncommon fruit. The aim of the Bachelor Thesis was to create a list of localities of quince and medlar which have been known in the Czech Republic so far. It was based on written documents and herbarium specimens from several public herbaria. I found 145 and 106 localities for quince and medlar, respectivelly. In addition, 8 new findings for quince and 3 for medlar are reported. They are all based on field work including data stated by other persons.
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.
