FERENC GYULAI - ÁRPÁD KENÉZ ENIGMATIC SEEDS FROM THE MIGRATION PERIOD (Summary) In the course of archaeobotanical analysis of archaeological sites we find mainly remains of plant species important from the point of view of human utilisation and furrow-weeds belonging to them. However, due to the circumstances of finds, we are not always able to reliably interpret their usage, so in some cases we categorise them as herbs or cultic plants. Earliest finds of hemp (Cannabis sativa) are known from Northeast China, from the middle of the 3'd millennium. People used it for making food, medicine, remedy against parasites and also drugs. Eurasian bindweed (Convolvulus arvensis) regularly occurs in Europe starting from the Neolithic. Its seeds were used to produce emergency food, roots for laxatives, uretics, remedy against asthma. In Hungarian archaeobotanical find material masts of hemp were found at 30 sites from the Neolithic to the Modern Age, a total of 11,500 pieces. Number of bindweed seeds found at 40 sites approach 400 pieces. Seeds of euphorbia were found only in one case, almost 400 pieces. More than half of the remains come from garbage and storage pits, sometimes from wells, where they got randomly as corn weeds. At the same time, when we find them in soil samples from houses, graves or ritual ceremonies (burials), their cultic usage should be considered. 353
