Milena Primavera

PrimaveraMy research interest is on Archaeobotany (seeds/fruits as well as wood/charcoal) and Environmental Archaeology, with special attention to multi and interdisciplinary studies. I developed my research trajectories around various aspects and themes of Human/Environment and Human/Plant relationship (Neolithic agricultural practices, changes in subsistence strategies in Bronze Age society, the role of plants in ancient ritual contexts, the exploitation of wild plants). Since 2016, I am a Research Fellow and Lecture at the University of Salento (Le-Italy) for Methodology of Archaeological Research; I joined the PlantCult Project to carry out the analysis of food remains found in south Italy, including sacrificial cakes recovered from the Demeter and Persephone Sanctuary of Monte Papalucio (Oria).
