Abstract
SummaryMost foraging, especially for wild edible plants, is a seasonal occupation, impacted by weather in the short term and climate change in the long term. In Crete today, foraging not only supplements the diet but is a valued inter‐generational social activity. Foraging activities are not directly mentioned in the Late Bronze Age Linear B tablets from Crete, suggesting that most were the purview of non‐elites. Here I present evidence for changes in seasonality during the Late Bronze Age and its possible impact on plant foraging. The Linear B and archaeological evidence for foraging activity and its relationship to elites and non‐elites is also discussed.
摘要大多数觅食活动,尤其是觅食野生食用植物,都是季节性活动,短期受天气影响,长期受气候变化影响。在今天的克里特岛,觅食不仅是对饮食的补充,也是一种重要的代际社交活动。克里特岛青铜时代晚期的 B 线石碑中没有直接提到觅食活动,这表明大多数觅食活动都是非贵族的活动。在此,我将介绍青铜时代晚期季节性变化的证据及其对植物觅食可能产生的影响。此外,还讨论了 B 线和考古证据中的觅食活动及其与精英和非精英的关系。
