Popis: The concept of Anthropic Activity Markers as ethnography-derived models to interpret archaeological activities has seen a remarkable development in recent years. In this talk we present preliminary results of the MoMArq project, a multidisciplinary project that combines cross-cultural studies with analyses of botanical, physical and chemical proxies to investigate plant-related activities in the past. Ethnography-inspired models are being validated through ethnoarchaeological studies and applied to interpret archaeological contexts. This approach allows for a better identification of how people used domestic spaces in the past for plant-related activities, specifically food processing and consumption.
