Morphometric analysis of flax seeds and new aspects of flax cultivation in Late Neolithic wetland settlements in southwest Germany [Elektronische Daten] [Christoph Herbig, Ursula Maier] The transition from the early to the middle phase of the Late Neolithic (fourth-third millennium b.c.) is closely connected with the term "secondary products revolution”, which involves the adoption of animal traction and an increased production of rendered animal commodities such as wool and dairy products. Based on measurements of Linum usitatissimum L. (flax) seeds and their abundance in 32 wetland settlements in southwest Germany, we presume that the introduction of a new flax variety, maybe a better flax for fibre, and the intensification of flax cultivation were also a part of this process. The morphometric analysis shows that flax seed sizes in the early phase of the Late Neolithic (4000-3400cal. b.c.) differ significantly from those of the middle and latest phase (3400-2400cal. b.c.).
