Abstract Only a small number of seeds belonging to cultivated plants were recovered from the site of Karmir Sar, situated on the southern flanks of Mt. Aragats. Although a few in number, these archaeobotanical materials are unique because of the geographical, chronological and cultural attribution of the finds. First, previously no archaeobotanical remains have been recovered from such a high altitude as 2850 m a.s.l. in the region. Second, extremely few remains of cultivated plant have been recovered from the Middle Bronze Age sites in present day Armenia (except for sites dating to the end of the MBA and the MBA/LBA transitions). And, finally, this is the first time that plant remains have been recovered from contexts relating to the “dragon-stone” monuments (stone stelae named "vishap"). The Middle Bronze Age remains of cultivated plants are identified as free-threshing wheat, barley, and emmer; these cereals were probably the main starch component of food for the communities that interacted with the vishap monuments of Karmir Sar. Those charred grains of cereals found in the vicinity of vishaps (and related structures) and attributed to the Middle Bronze Age may be related to ritual activities connected around the vishaps and may represent the remnants of offerings and/or festive food used during rituals. There are also findings of seeds from later periods (Late Bronze Age, Iron Age, Medieval) that are probably related to the activities of transhumant pastoralists.

来自 vishaps 环境的种子:来自 Karmir Sar 高山遗址(Tirinkatar,Mt. Aragats,亚美尼亚)的考古植物学发现

摘要 从位于山南侧的 Karmir Sar 遗址仅回收了少量属于栽培植物的种子。阿拉加特。尽管数量不多,但由于发现的地理、年代和文化归属,这些考古植物材料是独一无二的。首先,以前没有从该地区 2850 米这样的高海拔地区发现古植物遗骸。其次,在当今亚美尼亚的青铜时代中期遗址中发现的栽培植物遗骸极少(除了可以追溯到 MBA 末期和 MBA/LBA 过渡时期的遗址)。最后,这是第一次从与“龙石”纪念碑(名为“vishap”的石碑)相关的环境中恢复植物遗骸。青铜时代中期的栽培植物遗迹被确定为自由脱粒的小麦、大麦和二粒小麦;这些谷物可能是与 Karmir Sar 的 vishap 纪念碑互动的社区食物的主要淀粉成分。在 vishaps(和相关结构)附近发现并归因于青铜时代中期的那些烧焦的谷物颗粒可能与 vishaps 周围的仪式活动有关,并且可能代表仪式中使用的祭品和/或节日食品的残余物。也有发现可能与迁徙牧民活动有关的后期(青铜时代晚期、铁器时代、中世纪)的种子。这些谷物可能是与 Karmir Sar 的 vishap 纪念碑互动的社区食物的主要淀粉成分。在 vishaps(和相关结构)附近发现并归因于青铜时代中期的那些烧焦的谷物颗粒可能与 vishaps 周围的仪式活动有关,并且可能代表仪式中使用的祭品和/或节日食品的残余物。也有发现可能与迁徙牧民活动有关的后期(青铜时代晚期、铁器时代、中世纪)的种子。这些谷物可能是与 Karmir Sar 的 vishap 纪念碑互动的社区食物的主要淀粉成分。在 vishaps(和相关结构)附近发现并归因于青铜时代中期的那些烧焦的谷物颗粒可能与 vishaps 周围的仪式活动有关,并且可能代表仪式中使用的祭品和/或节日食品的残余物。也有发现可能与迁徙牧民活动有关的后期(青铜时代晚期、铁器时代、中世纪)的种子。在 vishaps(和相关结构)附近发现并归因于青铜时代中期的那些烧焦的谷物颗粒可能与 vishaps 周围的仪式活动有关,并且可能代表仪式中使用的祭品和/或节日食品的残余物。也有发现可能与迁徙牧民活动有关的后期(青铜时代晚期、铁器时代、中世纪)的种子。在 vishaps(和相关结构)附近发现并归因于青铜时代中期的那些烧焦的谷物颗粒可能与 vishaps 周围的仪式活动有关,并且可能代表仪式中使用的祭品和/或节日食品的残余物。也有发现可能与迁徙牧民活动有关的后期(青铜时代晚期、铁器时代、中世纪)的种子。
