Abstract
Udbina – Gradina is the only site from the Late Middle Ages (15th century) to the Post-Medieval Period (16th–17th century) with a considerable amount of archaeobotanical remains analysed so far in Croatia. A significant quantity of large-grain cereals was found onsite, the most dominant of which was free-threshing wheat (Triticum aestivum group), as well as a smaller quantity of weed admixtures. We present an overview of the carpological results of the thus far researched and published medieval and post-medieval sites in Croatia and provide a comparison with the newly researched site of Udbina – Gradina.
