Abstract

This paper presents the results of the study of the macroscopic plant remains found in the granary of a La Tène D1 native farm situated on the plateau overlooking the river Oise, near Compiègne, northern France. The composition and the deposition of the harvest in the storage building are discussed. Some evidence of agricultural practices are deduced from the weeds associated with the grain.
