Seed morphology uncovers 1500 years of vine agrobiodiversity before the advent of the Champagne wine

Abstract A crucial aspect of viticulture is finally unveiled as the historical dynamics of its agrobiodiversity are described in the Champagne region for the first time. Outline analyses were carried out to compare the morphology of archaeological grape seeds from Troyes and Reims (first c. AD to fi...
