Numerous fragments of Cornus sanguinea (dogwood) fruit stones were found in the cultural layer of the Late Neolithic pile dwelling site Strojanova voda at Ljubljansko barje, Slovenia, which indicate the Late Neolithic use of dogwood fruits. While these fruits are considered to be inedible, the research question about their use arose. Ethnobotanical and archaeobotanical sources were examined and experimental work on processing and using fresh C. sanguinea fruits was done, followed by chemical analyses of modern fruits (endocarps, mesocarps and exocarps) and archaeological fruit stones from the site. All these various approaches together suggest some possible uses. Fresh dogwood fruits can be crushed to give a soapy, creamy and oily emulsion with an exfoliant effect on the skin, which proved to be applicable, besides for oil, for cleaning and washing bodies, clothes and/or dishes. It can be concluded that Late Neolithic pile dwellers had a great knowledge of wild plants and their properties, and not only for food, and that the use of C. sanguinea fruits, at least south of the Alps, has been undervalued until now.

的无数碎片山茱萸荪（山茱萸）果核在新石器时代晚期一堆蜗居网站Strojanova沃达在Ljubljansko barje，斯洛文尼亚，这表明新石器时代晚期使用山茱萸果实的文化层中发现。虽然这些水果被认为是不可食用的，但有关其用途的研究问题却出现了。检查了人类植物和考古植物的来源，并研究了加工和使用新鲜C. sanguinea的实验工作完成水果后，对现场的现代水果（内果皮，中果皮和外果皮）和考古果核进行化学分析。所有这些各种方法共同暗示了一些可能的用途。可以将新鲜的山茱fruits果实压碎，得到肥皂，乳脂状和油性乳液，在皮肤上产生去角质效果，事实证明，该油剂除用于油脂外，还可用于清洁和洗涤身体，衣服和/或餐具。可以得出的结论是，新石器时代晚期的居民对野生植物及其特性非常了解，不仅用于食物，而且直到现在，至少在阿尔卑斯山以南的南美锥虫果实的使用都被低估了。
