BRASSICA AND SINAPIS SEEDS IN MEDIEVAL ARCHAEOLOGICAL SITES: AN EXAMPLE OF MULTIPROXY ANALYSIS FOR THEIR IDENTIFICATION AND ETHNOBOTANICAL INTERPRETATION

The genus Brassica includes some of the most important vegetable and oil crops worldwide.Many Brassica seeds (which can show diagnostic characters useful for species identification) were recovered from two archaeological sites in northern Italy, dated from between the Middle Ages and the Renaissance.We tested the combined use of archaeobotanical ke
