Botanical aspects of the agricultural economy at Uppåkra and surrounding settlements
(2021) In Acta Archaeologica Lundensia Series altera in 8° p.149-213- Abstract
- The comprehensive prehistoric settlement Uppåkra, lasting over a millennium,
raises questions on how food supplies and local communities were agricultu
rally organized. Recent investigations of archaeobotanical remains from the
regional center Uppåkra and several surrounding settlements have contribu

as a regional center contributed to agricultural changes is discussed in terms
of production and consumption of cultivated plants. Similarly, whether or
not Uppåkra’s need of agrarian products influenced the scope and focus of
plant cultivation in the hinterland is also discussed, from both a local and
regional perspective. (Less)
