Late Bronze Age stamp-seals with negative impressions of seeds from Eastern Hungary
The study of plant imprints has a long history in archaeobotany and it became an essential tool for reconstructing the agricultural practices of the past. However, in some cases these imprints are deliberately structured in a way that may suggest interpreting them as symbols, and therefore understa...
