Abstract:
Utilisation of the hazel bush as a resource in Mesolithic to Bronze Age Ireland. Sites where hazelnuts are present are discussed focussing on the quantity found and their possible part in the prehistoric diet before and after the advent of settled agriculture. Circumstances that may have led to the carbonisation of hazelnut shells, the probability of hazelnut storage, and some aspects of the processing of hazelnut kernels are also considered.
