Resumo(s)
Within the framework of the Sado Meso project, two shell middens(Poças de S. Bento and Cabeço do Pez) in the Sado valley, Portugal, havebeen exhaustively sampled for plant macro-remains, in an effort to overcome two problems in prehistoric research: firstly, the scarcity of direct data about plant use by the Mesolithic peoples of Atlantic Iberia, and secondly, the neglect of sampling strategies for the recovery of plantmacro-remains in the shell midden research tradition. The flotationtechnique has been applied to 100% of the sediment obtained during the new excavation campaigns and a considerable number of samples havebeen studied. We now have substantial data about the exploitation of awide range of wild plants which might have played a role of economic importance within the human groups at the end of the Mesolithic.
