Agricultura prehistórica en el País Vasco litoral

Plant macro-remains analyses show that cereal agriculture is present from at least mid- 5th millennium cal BC by the coast of the Basque Country. During the Neolithic barley (Hordeum vulgare) and emmer wheat (Triticum dicoccum) are the only cereals identified so far. In the Bronze Age, the cave of Arenaza suggests that free-threshing wheats (Triticum aestivum/durum) had become the main crop of the region and millet (Setaria italica) is present. During the Iron Age the hillfort of Intxur shows a complex and diverse agriculture with spelt (Triticum spelta) being a very important crop.
