Abstract
Cichorioideae with fenestrate pollen are among the most important markers ofpasturelands. The pollen type mainly includes members of the Cichorieae tribe, and this is the actualtribe identified in pollen spectra from the Italian peninsula. The paper presents a brief review ofpollen presence of Cichorieae in archaeological sites of southern Italy. Particularly, the case study ofSant’Angelo Vecchio, a Hellenistic site located in Metaponto (Basilicata) is reported. Four classesof Cichorieae can be distinguished based on the maximum diameter length: < 18 μm (Hieraciumtype), 18-25 μm, 26-44 μm, ≥ 45 μm (Scolymus type).
