This paper integrates archaeological, environmental and isotopic data from Roman Iron Age (1–400 AD) settlements in Lithuania to present an updated framework for understanding the development of farming agricultural landscapes during this period. The study dates introduction new crop species, such as rye oats, around 100–200 cal AD. Notably, quickly became one most economically important crops, coinciding with adoption infield-outfield cultivation system. system combined intensively farmed fields open, well-irrigated areas near more distant swiddens used extensive farming. Archaeobotanical analysis, along δ15N δ13C measurements charred assemblages, reveals a high level diversification both species composition strategies. These findings suggest that farmers employed complex methods aimed at increasing productivity expansion while maintaining adaptability resilience response challenges.
