- Hur studerar man kulturväxter i arkeologiska sammanhang och med arkeologins metoder? Hur definierar man begrepp som kulturväxt, nyttoväxt och trädgårdsodling? Forskningen inom arkeologin kring just växterna är ett spännande ämne som kräver ett tvärvetenskapligt samarbete, med alla de speciella utmaningar detta innebär. Syftet med arbetsseminariet på Alnarp den 3– 4 mars 2010 var att sammanföra nordiska forskare med olika bakgrund för att under två dagar diskutera forskningen kring det gemensamma intresset: växter i arkeologiska sammanhang och trädgårdsarkeologi, och etablera ett nätverk för framtida samarbete (fig. 1). Deltagarna kom från vitt skilda fält, från bl.a. arkeologi, arkeobotanik, kvartärgeologi, paleoekologi, landskap-sarkitektur, trädgårds- och landskapshistoria samt språkvetenskap. Alla föredrag behandlade växter och odling ur någon aspekt, från tiden då de första människorna invandrade till Skandinavien efter istiden, via järnålderns byggnadsnära intensiva odlingar och stormaktstidens parker, till 1800- och 1900-talets odlingar.

Rapport (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Icelandic medieval monastic sites – vegetation and flora, cultural- and relict plants, contemporary plant-names The colonization of Iceland began in the late 9th century and in the year 1000 the Althing chose Christianity to replace paganism as the religion of the country. The bishopric of Skálholt was established in 1056 and Hólar in 1106. There are traces of twelve to fifteen monasteries, of which nine are recognized as having lasted for some time. Of these only Skriðuklaustur has been fully excavated, exhibiting a European building model. Viðeyjarklaustur and Kirkjubaejarklaustur have been partly excavated not revealing any specific monastic buildings as yet. Archaeobotanical investigations have only been undertaken on Viðey and at Skriðuklaustur. The exact localisation of the monastic buildings, or possible monastic cultivation. are only presumptions at all other places, as is the type of monastic building, whether traditional Icelandic farm type or continental monastery building type. The questions that this project seeks to answer are which cultivated plants on the whole, and garden plants in particular, were known and used in the medieval Icelandic monastic context, and whether it is possible to find medieval relict plants in connection with the Icelandic monastic sites. All monastic sites were surveyed for landscape and plants, and complete lists of the plants found are published in Bilaga 1. Medicinal, utility and ornamental plants, known in Iceland and abroad, have been recorded, but their status as true medieval monastic relict plants cannot be fully determined at this stage of research. The very special conditions in which a hitherto uninhabited island was colonized in some hundred years by people bringing and adapting their knowledge of farming, cultivating and using plants for both utility and pleasure led inevitably to a situation where common knowledge became integrated with the specific uses of plants and plant medicine in a monastic context. Many of the plants found today, such as Angelica, Alchemilla, Allium, Filipendula, Plantago or Sanguisorba have a medieval past as medicinal herbs. We cannot, however, establish for sure whether some of these plants’ properties were not common knowledge to the Icelanders of the Middle Ages but were specific monastic plants. The Icelandic monastic sites, as well as all Iceland, are today dominated by farming leaving little space for herbs to grow and survive. There are however traces of deliberate use and possibly cultivation of plants at Skriðuklaustur and Viðeyjarklaustur, although more archaeobotanical evidence from monastic sites is needed as well as an archeological search for traces of cultivation. This is required not only at these two sites but at all monastic sites in Iceland. Medieval plant-names tell us little since most of the medico-botanical literature are translations of the Dane Henrik Harpestræng’s works. The Icelandic laws, another source for plant-names, are heavily influenced by Norwegian law and therefore may only be used with caution for the documentation of Icelandic matters. Later historic plant-names, however, reveal many interesting details about the local use of some plants, although some of these names are loans from or translations of Scandinavian or German names and may not reveal anything about their local Icelandic use.

- Were there monasteries in Iceland in the Middle Ages? How many were there? Where were they located, how were they built and, above all, were there any adjacent monastic gardens? The Nordic project “Icelandic medieval monastic sites – vegetation and flora, cultural plants and relict plants, contemporary plant-names” will try to contribute to answering these questions that can be summarized as follows: What cultivated plants and garden plants were known and used in the medieval Icelandic monastic context? Will new research into the relatively uninvestigated and largely untouched medieval Icelandic monastic sites modify our knowledge of the form and plant life of the Nordic monastic garden? The project has its starting point in the archaeobotanic findings of some medicinal plants, such as a species in the onion genus (Allium sp.), stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) and greater plantain (Plantago major), made during the excavation of an Augustinian monastery, Skriðuklaustur in Fljótsdalur, eastern Iceland (occupied 1493–1550) led by archaeologist Steinunn Kristjánsdóttir at the University of Iceland
