“…Such accumulations are often found in port contexts very similar to the context analysed here. In the Iberian Peninsula, the site of the Roman port of Irun (Peña-Chocarro and Zapata Peña 2005) is significant while further examples come from the Mediterranean area (Šoštarić and Küster 2001;Bertacchi et al 2008;Jennifer 2010;Allevato et al 2016).…”

“…Where examined, the evidence has contributed meaningfully to the reconstruction of Roman villa production, management and supply, the preparation and consumption of foods, as well as exploring aspects of group identity, social status and ritual/religious practices (e.g. Crabtree, 1990;King, 2001;Šoštarić, Küster, 2001;Olive, 2004;Padrós, Valenzuela Lamas, 2010;McCallum et al, 2013;Árpád et al, 2015).…”

“…Published deposits of archaeobotanical and zooarchaeological remains dating to the Roman period (1 st -5 th Century AD) in Croatia are still relatively rare. For example, only 12 sites have published archaeobotanical remains (see Reed, 2016 for summary;Essert et al, 2018;Reed, Leleković, 2019;Reed et al, 2019) and only three of these are from villa sites: the 3 rd -4 th century AD rural villa at Danilo, Dalmatia (Šoštarić, 2003), the 1 st -5 th century AD rural villa at Veli Brijun, Istria (Šoštarić, Küster, 2001), and the 2 nd -4 th century AD urban villa of Osijek-Silos (Reed et al, 2019). Faunal data are even more underrepresented and only five Roman period sites being published in Croatia (Alvàs -Marion, 2001;Brajković, Paunović, 2001;Campadelli, 2007;Miculinić, 2018;Šimić-Kanaet et al, 2005;Šoštarić et al, 2015).…”

“…Pliny the Elder (23-79 AD) wrote in his Natural history that the Roman general Lucullus brought cherries back to Italy when he returned from the Pontus region in Turkey. Based on morphological and genetic studies, there is evidence that sweet cherry was present in Europe in Roman and early medieval times [13-15]. Consequently, the proof of a single domestication event was not established for this species.…”

BackgroundDomestication and breeding involve the selection of particular phenotypes, limiting the genomic diversity of the population and creating a bottleneck. These effects can be precisely estimated when the location of domestication is established. Few analyses have focused on understanding the genetic consequences of domestication and breeding in fruit trees. In this study, we aimed to analyse genetic structure and changes in the diversity in sweet cherry Prunus avium L.ResultsThree subgroups were detected in sweet cherry, with one group of landraces genetically very close to the analysed wild cherry population. A limited number of SSR markers displayed deviations from the frequencies expected under neutrality. After the removal of these markers from the analysis, a very limited bottleneck was detected between wild cherries and sweet cherry landraces, with a much more pronounced bottleneck between sweet cherry landraces and modern sweet cherry varieties. The loss of diversity between wild cherries and sweet cherry landraces at the S-locus was more significant than that for microsatellites. Particularly high levels of differentiation were observed for some S-alleles.ConclusionsSeveral domestication events may have happened in sweet cherry or/and intense gene flow from local wild cherry was probably maintained along the evolutionary history of the species. A marked bottleneck due to breeding was detected, with all markers, in the modern sweet cherry gene pool. The microsatellites did not detect the bottleneck due to domestication in the analysed sample. The vegetative propagation specific to some fruit trees may account for the differences in diversity observed at the S-locus. Our study provides insights into domestication events of cherry, however, requires confirmation on a larger sampling scheme for both sweet cherry landraces and wild cherry.
