L'agricoltura di Lugo di Grezzana (Verona) considerazioni preliminari

SUMMARY - Agriculture in Lugo di Grezzana (Northern Italy, Verona): preliminary observations - Recent analyses on charred remains from Lugo di Grezzana (VR), especially from ES 235 (area IX) infillings attributed to the Fiorano culture phase, enriched the framework of the Early Neolithic Northeastern Italy. These analyses have also confirmed the existence of significant diversities related to cultural facies and geographic areas. The comparison with the data from Friuli region, and specifically from Sammardenchia, suggested important differences to be attributed to a different production organization (tab. II). The most exploited species are barley and emmer, and secondarily the naked wheat. The main difference with Sammardenchia is the complete lack (as far as we know) of the new glume wheat and the very limited exploitation of einkorn. The harvest of fruits is important in the settlement: acorns and hazelnuts are the most exploited. The presence of the barley is similar in the two settlements. The lack of leguminous plants in the Lugo di Grezzana samples does not enable any comparison between the two.
