  • Descrição: ABSTRACT IN ENGLISH: Plant impressions were found on pottery from two Early Holocene (Early Khartoum) sites and one Middle Holocene (Shaheinab) site in the Blue Nile area in the Central Sudan. Identification of the specimens attests the presence of edible plants and other plant species. Analysis of the data indicates that a broad-spectrum subsistence strategies including exploitation of grain-foods (e.g. wild cereals and grasses) was initiated during the Early Holocene (2000 years earlier than previously thought) and continued to be practised during the Middle Holocene without significant change. These strategies were part of a general pattern of food-plants exploitation in the wider area of Northeast Africa during the Early and Middle Holocene. Although no direct evidence of cultivation was found, the possibility of its being practised is not excluded. Some of the recovered evidence indicates that climatic conditions were much wetter than today. An attempt is made to emphasise why and suggest how archaeobotanical research can be manipulated to help solving certain cultural and socio-economic problems in modern times. // ABSTRACT IN SPANISH: Estudio de las impresiones de plantas en cerámicas de dos yacimiento del Holoceno Inicial (Early Khartoum) y un yacimiento del Holoceno Medio (Shaheinab) de la zona del Nilo Azul en el Sudán Central. Las formas impresas demuestran la presencia de plantas comestibles (semillas de hierbas silvestres y huesos de frutos) así como de otras especies, con estrategias de subsistencia de amplio espectro desde el Holocene Inicial (unos dos mil años antes de lo que se creía) que continuaron sin cambios en el Medio, al igual que un una amplia zona del NE de África (Sudán Central, Egipto y Libia). Aunque no se han registrado indicios de prácticas de cultivo, no se puede excluir su posibilidad. Algunas de las plantas indican que el clima era al menos tres veces más húmedo que hoy. También se resalta la necesidad de integrar los estudios históricos con las experiencias presentes para resolver ciertos problemas culturales y económicos actuales.
