- Abstract
Grape (Vitis vinifera seed remains were excavated at Roman and Medieval archeological sites in Hungary and analyzed by LM (Light Microscopy) and SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy). Excavation sites included Budapest (Aquincum: 2nd - 4th CENT. A.D. Hungary) and Keszthely (Fenékpuszta of the Roman Age (5th CENT A.D., Hungary): and Győr (Ece; 11-12th CENT. A.D., Hungary), Debrecen (13th CENT. A.D., Hungary) and the King's Palace of Árpád Dinasty at the Castle of Buda, Budapest (15th CENT A.D., Hungary) of the Middle Ages. Ancient seeds were compared to thirty current grape varieties of similar scud size, shape, and morphology (Szabó et al. 2007). The modern grape variety Vitis vinifera cv. 'kék bakator' (syn.:'Blue Bocca d'Or': 'aranybogyó') was found most similar in scud morphology to one of the ancient samples (15th CENT. Debrecen, Hungary) which indicates the antiquity of this cultivar
