Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
Reports an experimental project designed to monitor ways in which human activity in the form of cereal processing may act on the pollen record: specifically to record the extent and level of pollen release at each stage of crop processing. Pollen traps were laid in two zones around the processing area, in addition to aerial traps. There were also controls to account for the laboratory conditions. Processes monitored took the following sequence: drying; threshing; first winnowing; pounding; sieving and second winnowing. The results are presented in the form of histograms comparing levels of pollen found at each of the three trap sites. Threshing and sieving produced the highest pollen outfall although it is noted that had traps been placed inside the mortar at the pounding stage then the level of pollen recorded would have been higher. It is hoped that future studies of this kind will enable the pollen record to be more readily interpreted. The current project at West Stow Anglo-Saxon village, to monitor similar processes in field conditions, is also noted. | |||||
