Abstract

.- Archaeobotanical analyses carried out in Mesolithic and Neolithic contexts from Basque caves show that hazelnuts, acorns and Pomoideae fruits are the wild plant foods more frequently preserved. The visibi lity of these products is related to the physical properties of the tissues they are formed with and also to the prac tices related to their consumption, processing and discarding. Archaeological and environmental information shows that during the Mesolithic and the Neolithic wild plant foods might have been intensively gathered. Howe ver, the data are still very limited in order to assess adequately their real importance in human diet.
