Plant remains from a prehistoric well at Hajndl (Slovenia)

The archaeobotanical samples analysed derive from a well-preserved well dated to the Early Iron Age (Hallstatt). Archaeobotanical samples originate from the layers of the well in which remnants of the pottery from Early Iron Age also were found. The results of the analysis show that the earliest inhabitants of the site of Hajndl (by Ptuj, Slovenia) were engaged in animal husbandry, agriculture and gathering activities. As for cultivated species, the preserved remains of millet (Panicum miliaceum), flax (Linum usitatissimum), poppy (Papaver somniferum) and possible false flax (Camelina sativa) were found in the samples, together with a large number of characteristic weeds. There are also a large number of ruderal, nitrophilous species, as well as elements of grass and scrub vegetation, which reflect human influence on the vegetation of the prehistoric site.
