As elsewhere in the Mediterranean, these socioeconomic dynamics have been accompanied by agricultural changes of varying degrees, contributing to the introduction and spread of new plants and practices. From a chronologically and geographically unbalanced corpus of 13 archaeological sites, this paper proposes a general overview of the identified taxa, in order to set out our current knowledge of Moroccan agricultural productions from Antiquity to the early Modern period. A total of 47 cultivated/gathered species are attested by seeds and/or fruits, divided into 8 cereals, 7 pulses, 9 vegetables and condiments, 20 fruit trees, 3 oilseed and textile plants and 1 possibly cultivated grass plant. Greater taxonomic diversity is recorded during the medieval period, which is the most extensively researched. To complete this work, an overview of emerging approaches aimed at better characterizing diversity and agricultural practices (manuring, irrigation) is also proposed.

Located at the foot of the High Atlas, at the opening of the Ourika valley, it benefited from a geographical situation favourable to the development of an important irrigated agriculture. However, Aghmat was hit by the great crisis that struck Morocco at the end of the 14th and during the 15th c., and was abandoned. It is only in the course of the 16th c. that the locality found a new dynamism, while knowing a deep spatial, demographic and economic reorganization. Indeed, Aghmat seems to take at this period the shape of a dispersed habitat, entirely dedicated to a new agricultural development. Since 2005, the extensive excavation of the medieval urban centre and of its levels of abandonment makes it possible to locally approach this transitional period between two socioeconomic systems.

Located at the foot of the High Atlas, at the opening of the Ourika valley, it benefited from a geographical situation favourable to the development of an important irrigated agriculture. However, Aghmat was hit by the great crisis that struck Morocco at the end of the 14th and during the 15th c., and was abandoned. It is only in the course of the 16th c. that the locality found a new dynamism, while knowing a deep spatial, demographic and economic reorganization. Indeed, Aghmat seems to take at this period the shape of a dispersed habitat, entirely dedicated to a new agricultural development. Since 2005, the extensive excavation of the medieval urban centre and of its levels of abandonment makes it possible to locally approach this transitional period between two socioeconomic systems. Thus arises the question of the agricultural evolutions and of the role played by the various socioeconomic components on lands management. The recent creation of an archaeobotanical program that includes both carpological and anthra-cological analysis seems to be the most promising way to document these questions. Based on nearly fifty archaeological samples extracted from varied contexts (hearths, dumps, plantation pits), dated between the 11th and the 17th c., this work allows proposing a first review on cultivated/gathered plants.

En effet, grâce à des identifications taxinomiques précises, pouvant souvent atteindre le rang de l'espèce, et à leur conservation dans différents contextes, ces vestiges à la fois biologiques et anthropiques témoignent de la gamme des plantes cultivées et sauvages consommées et exploitées par des groupes sociaux divers. Rebuts d'utilisation, leur connexion avec une structure archéologique identifie leur origine : déchets de cuisine, d'assiette, de transformation, stock, combustible, etc. Les approches archéobotaniques au nord du Maroc se sont multipliées au cours des dernières années, se concentrant principalement sur certaines occupations emblématiques, telles que Rirha (par ex. Ruas et al. 2016) ou Lixus (par ex. Grau Almero et al. 2010). La zone d'Asilah, d'un autre côté, demeurait vierge de toute investigation archéobotanique. La présente étude propose donc de porter un premier regard sur cette zone ; nous chercherons ainsi à évaluer le potentiel archéobotanique des structures mises au jour, à dresser un premier état des plantes consommées et/ou exploitées aux époques maurétaniennes et médiévales.
