The earliest remains of a Citrus fruit from a western Mediterranean archaeological context? A microtomographic-based re-assessment
چکیده انگلیسی

The discovery of the carbonized remains of a Citrus-like fruit in a funerary offering deposit dated back to the beginning of the 6th century BC during archaeological work run at Ischia, the island which hosted one among the earliest Greek colonies in southern Italy, has relaunched the question of the spread of Citrus through western Mediterranean during Classical Antiquity. Here we apply microtomography (SR-μCT and μCT) to investigate the inner structure of the archaeological specimen (SDC-mr.1a+b). Our high-resolution comparative analysis, which also considered one carbonized modern Citrus and a dried modern Sorbus domestica (true service tree) and Malus type sylvestris (wild apple), does not support the original taxonomic attribution ( Coubray, 1996).

RésuméLa découverte de restes carbonisés d’un fruit de type Citrus dans un dépôt votif du début du vie siècle av. J.C. dans un site archéologique d’Ischia, l’île des premières colonies grecques du Sud de l’Italie, a relancé la question de la diffusion de Citrus dans l’Ouest de la Méditerranée au cours de l’Antiquité. Nous avons utilisé la microtomographie (SR-μCT et μCT) pour caractériser la structure interne du spécimen archéologique (SDC-mr.1a+b). Notre analyse comparative à haute définition, qui prend en considération un Citrus actuel carbonisé, une corme (Sorbus domestica) et une pomme sauvage (Malus type sylvestris) séchées, ne confirme pas l’attribution taxonomique originale ( Coubray, 1996).
