Crops, weeds and gathered plants in the vicinity of the mediaeval Castle Kolno, near Brzeg, S-W Poland, and a morphometric approach for some taxa2021 •
In the present work, numerous species of useful and wild plants were identified in the archaeobotanical samples (moat deposit and two ceramic jugs) collected from the mediaeval locality of the Kolno Castle, near Brzeg, south-western Poland. At the confluence of two rivers, in the vicinity of the castle, it was possible to cultivate cereals on poor alluvial soil, in the ground with a layer of ferruginous concretions. The characteristic weeds of the classes Secalinetea and Chenopodietea indicated the cultivation of winter cereals and garden plants. Polymorphic populations of millet were cultivated. Apart from the annual plants, the following fruit trees were grown: plums, peaches and walnuts. Fruits of many wild species were also gathered for consumption. Correlation analysis of the characters of Prunus L. stones proved that the development of the organ is conservative. Morphometric analysis of the plum stones showed that in addition to the specimens belonging to the species Prunus sp...

The Origin, Archaeobotany and Ethnobotany of Sweet Chestnut (Castanea sativa Miller) in the Czech RepublicThis contribution deals with ethnobotanical knowledge and archaeobotanical findings of the sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa) in the Czech Republic. The appearance of Castanea sativa depended on the last glaciation and consequently approximately six areas as refugia are known up to present in Europe. Later distribution was primarily connected with human activities particularly during the Roman age. Archaeobotanical evidence during the Late Medieval period is rare in Central Europe and Early Modern evidence is exceptional. Despite the fact that this period has opened up new kind of relationships between humankind and plants, archaeobotanical analyses of materials dated to this period are still fairly rare. The unique collection of macroremains enriching our knowledge of the diet standard of high society, originating from the waste vault infill in Prague Castle, supports the importance of the use of sweet chestnuts at the beginning of the 17th century. Based on recent archaeobotanical and historical data, chestnuts were not known in the Czech Republic earlier than the 16th century when the first experimental planting began. This paper has given special attention to those first planting referred to as “kaštánky” in the scope of the ethnobotanical survey. In addition, the valuable multiple utilisation placed Castanea sativa among the most important useful plants.

Plant economy of the Trzciniec culture based on charred plant remains from Pielgrzymowice 9 site, in the context of archaeobotanical finds from southern Poland2021 •
In the paper, new carpological data from Pielgrzymowice site 9 are presented in the context of archaeobotanical finds from southern Poland. The results were obtained from detailed analyses of 45 samples from 38 archaeological features. Only charred plant remains were taken into account as they are considered contemporaneous with the Middle Bronze Age settlement. Among the cultivated plants, Panicum miliaceum, Triticum dicoccum, Triticum monococcum and Triticum sp. were documented. Among wild plants, several taxa were found, including Chenopodium t. album, Chenopodium sp., Melandrium / Silene, Polygonum lapathifolium and Fallopia convolvulus, among others. In archaeobotanical samples, Geranium sp., cf. Lamiaceae also appeared. In addition, plants typical of grasslands, forests and ruderal areas were noted, such as Coronilla varia, Rumex acetosella, Plantago media, Plantago lanceolata, Stellaria graminea and Hypericum perforatum. These results were compared with data coming from nine ...

Polish Palaeobotany: 750 Million Years of Plant History as Revealed in a Century of Studies. Research on the Paleogene and Neogene (Tertiary)On overview of over a hundred years of history of Polish palaeobotanical research on the Paleogene and Neogene (formerly Tertiary) is provided. Profiles of the researchers who laid the foundations for the development of paleofloristic research are presented. In particular, we describe individuals who have made significant research contributions, including M. Raciborski, J. Zabłocki, M. Kostyniuk, H. Czeczott, and W. Szafer. Research centers that were revived after World War II gathered scientists who continued and extended work in the field, including M. Łańucka-Środońowa, J. Oszast, A. Skirgiełło, J. Doktorowicz-Hrebnicka, J. Stachurska, and J. Mamczar. This tradition was maintained and developed by researchers of the next generation: L. Stuchlik, E. Zastawniak, A. Sadowska, M. Ziembińska-Tworzydło, I. Grabowska, H. Ważyńska, A. Hummel, Z. Baranowska-Zarzycka, and A. Kohlman-Adamska. Currently, the fourth generation of Polish palaeobotanists, including B. Słodkowska, E. Worobiec, G...

238 years of the Herbarium of the Jagiellonian University, Kraków, Poland.2018 •
The article presents the history of the Herbarium of the Jagiellonian University (KRA), the oldest herbarium associated with a university in Poland, which is among the 30 oldest herbaria in the world. It was established in 1780 and was part of the Cabinet of Natural History of the Jagiellonian University. Nowadays, the Herbarium is part of the Institute of Botany at the Jagiellonian University. The oldest collections come from the 18 th century. The Herbarium consists of about 885,000 sheets and bags, and is subdivided into five sections: vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens and algae, and slime molds. The separated collection is the paleoherbarium. The curators of the Herbarium sections during its history are listed. The list of the most important publications (sources) is also presented.
