Oppida and agricultural production - state of the art and prospects. Case study from Staré Hradisko oppidum (Czech Republic)

Original language description

The paper discusses the food procurement and subsistence strategies of the oppida: the central sites of the La Tène period in east-central Europe. Studies of the economy of the oppida in Bohemia traditionally build from a presumption of their specialisation in craft production and trading economy. This paper considers the ecology and environmental potential of the surrounding landscape for food production. We address the questions and long-term notions of “marginal arable land”, of the social environment and a site's productivity in terms of agriculture and animal husbandry, the “lack or absence of farming implements” at central sites, and the “existence of abundant, small, food supplying farming settlements within a convenient distance from the oppida and on more suitable soils”. This paper aims to demonstrate recent approaches to the interpretation of landscape exploitation and husbandry strategies practiced by the populations at the oppida and within their hinterlands. This is achieved through incorporating newly evaluated data: archaeological, environmental, agricultural and palaeoclimate. By doing so we hope to interpret the organization of life, food production and the “ethos” of the societies living in central Late La Tène sites.
