Storage, gathering and Lathyrism? at Dispilio
Evi Margaritis Anaskamma 5 (2011): 113-123.
From the introduction
This paper will focus on the plant remains retrieved from archaeological layers of the first occupation phase of the settlement of Dispilio, which is dated in the Middle Neolithic period (5459-5082 BC), although the site continues to be in use not only in the Late Neolithic and through the Bronze Age but also in the much later Classical period. According to data deriving from both excavation and soil micromorphological analysis it is evident that during the middle Neolithic the houses were located on a wooden platform, which was built near and above the water. The material discussed in this paper derives from the recently excavated east sector of the excavation.
