The author analyzes palaeoethnobotanical materials obtained from imprints of crop caryopses found on pottery from Chernyakhov culture settlement and burial ground at Velikaya Bugaevka in the Middle Dnieper area. Statistical analysis was conducted, and its results on amount of caryopses are used to make further interpretations. Masses of main crops were recalculated in order to determine their proportions in grain farming. Cluster analysis with similar data from other sites enabled benchmarking at a new level.

Keywords: Chernyakhov culture, Velikaya Bugaevka, palaeoethnobotanical spectrum, statistical analysis
