Abstract
New archaeobotanical data from villa rustica at Oarda-Bulza, located in south-western Transylvania, indicate that free-threshing wheat, Triticum aestivum (also known as bread wheat), was apparently the focus of farming activities, in contrast to pre-Roman times, when a more diverse agricultural crops system included greater amounts of emmer, barley and pulses. In addition to bread wheat remains, another important discovery is a cluster of charred seeds of Cannabis sativa (hemp) from the main building of the estate. These discoveries provide new information regarding the species cultivated and consumed by the community that lived in the area.
