摘要贾马（Jarma）位于利比亚南部法赞（Fazzan），与加拉曼特斯（Garamantes）的古都加拉马（Garama）有关，在贾马（Jarma）的挖掘工作中发现了一长串烧焦和干燥的植物遗骸。对样本的考古植物学分析使人们得以深入了解Garamantian时期Jarma居民种植的作物，以及作物加工活动、植物使用和处置的性质。已经确定了一系列广泛的谷物、水果和纤维作物，这些作物表明该地区从公元前第一个千年末开始就有冬季和夏季种植。采用了依靠Foggara灌溉的先进耕作制度。
Abstract Excavations at Jarma, associated with the ancient capital of the Garamantes, Garama, in the Fazzan, southern Libya, have recovered a long sequence of charred and desiccated plant remains. The archaeobotanical analysis of the samples have provided an insight into the crop plants cultivated by the Garamantian period occupants of Jarma, and the nature of crop processing activities, plant use and disposal. A broad range of cereal, fruit and fibre crops have been identified which demonstrate both winter and summer season cultivation in the region from the end of the first millennium BC. A sophisticated arable regime relying on foggara irrigation was practised.
