Si presentano i risultati dello studio di nove campioni di sedimento raccolti durante lo scavo stratigrafico del 2022, nel sito palafitticolo di Colmaggiore di Tarzo. Lo studio carpologico mira a ricostruire le abitudini alimentari, le pratiche agricole e alcuni aspetti del paleoambiente del sito. Questi dati planimetrici, seppur preliminari, forniscono informazioni sulla dieta, che era basata su cereali e, soprattutto, su alcuni frutti come nocciole, more, ghiande, physalis, ecc. L'habitat lacustre, ancora oggi presente nell'area, può essere ricostruito analizzando le numerose specie spontanee.

Abstract

The wetlands of the lakes of San Giorgio and Santa Maria extend into the Vallata, a basin of glacial origin. The site is located between the municipalities of Revine-Lago and Tarzo (TV). The first archaeological excavations, carried out in the last decades of the last century, revealed a pile dwelling village of the late Neolithic and early Copper Age. A new multidisciplinary research campaign (the reLacus project) began in 2019 and aims to reconstruct the paleoenvironmental context and the settlement patterns.Nine sediment samples collected during the 2022 stratigraphic excavation are the subject of this research. The carpological study aims to reconstruct the dietary habits, agricultural practices and some aspects of the paleoenvironment of the site. These planimetric data, although preliminary, provide information on the diet, which was based on cereals and, above all, some fruits such as hazelnuts, blackberries, acorns, physalis, etc. The lakeside habitat, still present in the area today, can be reconstructed by analyzing the numerous spontaneous species.
