Leonor Peña-Chocarro – CSIC | Institute of History | Madrid, Spain

Medieval appetites: food plants in multicultural Iberia (500-1100 CE), an ERC project

Leonor Peña-Chocarro is an archaeologist and a archaeobotanist at the CSIC Institute of History. Her research focuses on archaeological remains of crops as testimonies of past agriculture and she has studied multiple sites throughout the Mediterranean, from different time-periods, from Pre-history to Medieval times. After a first ERC on the origins of agriculture in the Western Mediterranean (Agriwestmed) she is now starting a new ERC project called Medapp. Its main objective is the study of plant resources in medieval times in the Iberian Peninsula, exploring the diversity of plant species used by Christian, Islamic and Jewish communities and their management, as well as to document the arrival and origin of new species and varieties.
