research is to expand knowledge about Roman diet and plant
cultivation in Istria and to compare it with similar localities on
the Eastern Adriatic coast.We have also tried to find some new
information about maritime trade routes in the Mediterranean
area in ancient times. Out of 27 samples collected from an
excavated Roman port in Flacius Street in Pula, in total, 9809
plantmacrofossils were recovered, identified and analysed. The
results of the analysis show that most of the plant remains
belong to the group of fruit trees and nuts. The most abundant
are the remains of Ficus carica, Pinus pinea, Vitis vinifera
subsp. vinifera, Rubus fruticosus agg. and Olea europaea
subsp. europaea. These are all species that are widespread in
the Mediterranean area and have likely always been consumed
by the local population. The number of ruderal and weed species
found is relatively high (31) in comparison with other plant
categories (fruit trees and nuts; fruit collected from the wild;
cereals; condiments; oil crops; vegetables and tubers; plants of
fresh water environments; elements of maquis), but as they
came to the site accidentally and not by targeted human activity,
there are far fewer macrofossils of such plants than those of
cultivated species. There were a few elements of evergreen
forest vegetation and plants of aquatic habitats at the site (2 +
1), which suggests the existence of this type of vegetation in the
area of the site in Roman times. Archaeobotanical comparisons
of the site in Flacius Street with similar coastal Roman sites—
Verige Bay on Veli Brijuni (first-fifth century AD), the port of
Zaton near Nin (first-third century AD) and Caska Bay on the
island of Pag (first and second century AD)—reveal considerable
similarities, confirming the uniformity in nutrition and
plant growth in the wider coastal area. Together with the two
Roman ships, during the archaeological excavations of the
Roman harbour and its layers, we collected over 2000 different
archaeological artefacts out of which a large numberwas almost
perfectly preserved. Some of the mentioned artefacts include
ceramic amphorae, ceramic table- and kitchenware, ceramic
lamps, different usable objects made of glass, wooden use objects,
parts of ship’s equipment and other wooden tools, architecture
elements from the nearby port as well as residential
structures and remains of stone monuments. Because of the
large amount of artefacts found at the site, the analysis of the
artefacts and data processing are still in progress. As a contribution
for recognizing organic remains, we isolated the
amphorae whose purpose was the storage and maritime transportation
of different food products and ingredients.
