The spread of early agriculture from theMediterranean to central Europe is still poorly understood.The new subsistence reached western central Europeduring the second half of the 6th millennium cal b.c.This paper presents a comparison of crop and weed speciesfrom 33 Bandkeramik sites from Austria and Germanyand six Bulgarian Neolithic sites. The aim is toinvestigate whether the early cultivation system broughtin from the eastern Mediterranean was adapted to Europeanconditions in Bulgaria or further West. Some characteristicsof the potential weeds are interpreted with respectto the cultivation systems and the origin of thespecies.status: publishe
