This paper applies phytolith analysis to bedrock installations at the Early Neolithic site of Paliambela Kolindros in Northern Greece. The phytolith remains retrieved from these installations document for the first time in Greece that the cylindrical cavities dug into the bedrock were used as mortars for pounding and dehusking wheat inflorescences. Shallower basins around, or next to these hollows, were probably used for grinding grain, while the working surfaces in between were used for several purposes related to food preparation and consumption. The detailed examination of phytoliths offers the possibility to reconstruct aspects of agricultural practices which often remained undocumented, particularly valuable for a site dated to the earliest phase of the Neolithic in Greece.

在空心中磨削？在北希腊马其顿的新石器时代早期遗址Paliambela Kolindros的基岩砂浆中捣碎谷物的植物石据证据

本文对希腊北部Paliambela Kolindros的新石器时代早期遗址的基岩装置进行了植硅石分析。在希腊，首次从这些装置文档中检索到的植硅石是将挖入基岩中的圆柱孔用作捣碎和打碎小麦花序的砂浆。这些空洞周围或旁边的浅槽可能被用来研磨谷物，而中间的工作面则被用于与食品制备和食用相关的多个目的。对植石体的详细检查提供了可能重建农业实践方面的可能性，而这些方面往往没有文献记载，对于在希腊新石器时代最早阶段的遗址特别有价值。
