Advancing Archaeobotanical Methods: Morphometry, Bayesian Analysis and AMS Dating of Rose Prickles from Monteagudo Almunia, Spain (12th Century–Present)
Despite the post-medieval date of the prickles, the presence of <i>R. moschata</i> and <i>R. foetida</i> suggests the continuity of cultivation for rose species originally already known during the medieval Islamic period. This provides direct archaeological evidence for the role of al-Andalus gardens in the dissemination of West Asian rose diversity, highlighting the lasting impact of medieval Islamic horticulture on the Iberian Peninsula.
