Summary

This paper focuses on the archaebotanical analyses of three Basque sites. The samples come from contexts that go from the Mesolithic to the Bronze Age. Evidence of prehistoric agriculture (barley, wheat or millet) has been found on the three sites. The oldest evidence of agriculture comes from Kobaederra, 5375 +-90 BP. The charcoal analyses show the preference of several species for fuelwood: pine, oak, hazel, Rosaceae, strawberry tree, ash and laurel.
