abstract = {Plant material like threshing remains has been used
systematically as filling and insulation material in
buildings for a long time. Such plant material can be found
in several places, for example in floor cavities (internal
floor deposits, Fehlboden) or in beam holes. For the first
time in Switzerland, desiccated plant material like this has
been investigated. In this article the analysis of the
material from three different sites is presented, each dated
to a different period, from the late medieval period to the
time just before the industrial revolution. The samples
consisted of chaff from Triticum spelta in bulk, and smaller
amounts of other cereals such as T. monococcum, Avena
sativa, Panicum miliaceum and Secale cereale, plus various
weeds. The assemblages in the late medieval samples show
evidence of three-field rotation: the high percentage of
grassland species is interpreted as an indicator of the
fallow land phase within the three-field system. A higher
ratio of annual to perennial plants in the more modern
samples indicates the development of more intensive tillage
and cultivation. Methodological questions regarding sampling
strategies of the floor cavity subsamples are investigated.
The analyses suggest that the volume of these subsamples
should be more than two litres.},
