Waterlogged plant remains from the Roman healing spa of Aquae Flaviae (Chaves, Portugal): Utilitarian objects, timber, fruits and seeds

More than 3500 individual pieces of waterlogged archaeobotanical remains were found in the excavation of the Roman healing spa of Aquae Flaviae (Chaves, Portugal), carried out between 2006 and 2013. Most of these were recovered in stratigraphic units sealed by the brick barrel vault collapse in last...
