Antolín, Ferran: Archaeobotanical analysis of seeds and fruits from Cova del Toll, Moià (Barcelona, Spain) [dataset bundled publication]. Deutsches Archäologisches Institut, PANGAEA, https://doi.pangaea.de/10.1594/PANGAEA.957771 (dataset in review)
Abstract:
Materials retrieved in the 1978-1979 campaigns at the site of Cova del Toll were given to Prof. Maria Hopf for analysis. Since no full quantification was provided and no report was available, the material was recently revised by Ferran Antolín. From the recovered remains, it seems that some sediment from different layers excavated was dry-sieved and some larger grains were sorted out. Most of the recovered material dates to the second half of the 5th millennium cal BC. 22 samples were analysed from 7 different squares -arbitrary division of the excavated surface- (N34-35, K17, M43, B107-D104, B107-E104, D104, E104, D104-E104) separated int 11 layers/sublayers (C1, C1b, C1d, C2, C3, C3b, C3c, C4, C5, C5b, C5d). Layers C1, C1b i C1d belong to the Bronze Age, Layer C2 is connected to a Bell Beaker phase and the rest (C3 and C5) are considered Postcardial Neolithic dated to the second half of the 5th millennium cal BC.

Ferran Antolin got the tubes that Maria Hopf checked but the plant remains were not identified (there were no labels) and a full report was never delivered to the archaeologists.
