ABSTRACT

In a survey of plants recovered from archaeological sites in Poland, K. Wasylikowa discussed the history of plant cultivation and the role of some gathered, edible plants wild plants (Wasylikowa et al. 1991). Another review, published in 1997, was based on data from 27 sites belonging to different cultural and chronological units in the loess uplands of western Malopolska (Little Poland; Lityn´ska-Zaja¸c 1997a). The results discussed in this paper come from selected archaeobotanical sites-those that yielded fairly rich plant remains-situated in southern Poland (Appendix 1, figure 17.1).
