It includes published and unpublished data. The plant taxa of economic interest are grouped into various categories: cereals, cereal chaff, legumes, domesticated fruits, oil/fibre plants, condiments and spices, and wild species. According to the data, naked wheats and hulled barley are the dominant cereal species throughout the Iberian Peninsula. There are, nonetheless, particularities like the prevalence of hulled wheats (mainly emmer and spelt) in the North-west. Cultivated fruits also show a great diversity, and new species such as Morus nigra or Prunus armeniaca appear for the first time in the archaeobotanical record. There are also novelties regarding herbs and spices.

Milling wheat and barley with rotary querns: the Ouarten women (Dahmani, Kef, Tunisia). AmS-Skrifter 24, 11–30, Stavanger. ISSN 0800-0816, ISBN 978-82-7760-158-8 Women of the Ouarten Berber tribe (Kef, western Tunisia) still manually perform many of the domestic tasks related to the preparation of cereals for consumption: cleaning, roasting and milling with rotary querns. These tasks have been studied from an ethnoarchaeological perspective within the framework of the research project “Ouarten: ethnoarchéologie d’une tribe berbère en Tunisie (Kef)”. The manual cleaning and grinding of bread and durum wheat, the cleaning, roasting and milling of hulled barley, as well as the cooking of the different cereals, have been recorded. This study presents the different steps of each process, the present-day tools and technical skills, as well as the different products, by-products and residues resulting from each stage of the operation.

Nowadays they are no longer used, but they can be documented in an abandoned state, and some of them have been reused as rubbish dumps. As part of an ethnoarchaeological project we excavated two of them, one of which reused as rubbish dump about AD2000. This paper presents the results of the excavation of these silos, that allowed us to record these structures in detail and to recover numerous organic remains, mainly animal bones, charcoal, seeds and fruits, which correspond to residues from various domestic food preparation activities.

The abundant appearance of charcoal and some seed remains from the Copper Age (3rd millennium b.c.) in the coastal zones of the southeast indicate that this species formed part of the vegetation of the Thermo-mediterranean zone and that its fruits were collected during these periods. However, Olea did not appear in the Meso-mediterranean zone until the Roman period, when olive cultivation was introduced there. The presence of charcoal and olive stones from the 1st century a.d. onwards is abundant, together with remains of structures for oil pressing.
