Abstract The abstract describing the content of the publication or report |
The aim of this study was to develop a model for the estimation of original grain weight from the dimensions of charred grains, taking into account the effect of carbonization. For this purpose, extant grains of wheat and barley were experimentally carbonized at three temperature levels (200, 250, 300 °C) and under two atmospheric conditions (oxidant, reducing). Weight, length (L), breadth (B) and thickness (T) were measured before and after carbonization. The products L×B and L×T provided the best estimation of grain weight and were relatively stable across treatments. As a case study, grain weight models were applied to grains from a range of Spanish sites. | ||||
