The article presents current results of the archaeobotanical investigation of materials from the cultural layers that represent the late medieval Puck. Based on them, an interesting picture of a small town emerges, which intensively developed after achieving its municipal status. This is evidenced not only by historical data and archaeological finds, but also by a significant proportion of synanthropic plants, including those typical of ruderal habitats. It can be assumed that the degree of transformation of separate parts of the town was not identical, and the local authorities tried to keep the most representative part of Puck, which was the market square, tidy. The presence of segetal weeds can be explained by importing agricultural products to Puck, which indirectly indicates the use of cereals as an article of trade and/or diet. The swamps in the surrounding of the town were transformed over time into various types of meadows and pastures, which constituted a source of fodder or other materials used within the parcels. Remains of consumption plants indicate the significant role of local products, through which the diet of Puck residents seems to have been characteristic of a moderately prosperous society. However, traces of figs, preserved in surprisingly large quantities, are proof of the import of exotic products to town. Only part of the inhabitants could have had access to them. In the case of parcels 123, 156, or 168, it can be assumed that their owners constituted a richer group having contacts, e.g. with Gdańsk.

This work discusses the results of archaeological and environmental research carried out on site No. 7 in Błądzikowo, bringing new data for a better recognition of the settlement and economy of the Puck Land in the early Middle Ages. Excavations have unearthed the remains of a small wooden-earthen rampart and a dwelling building. Archaeological materials (pottery fragments, a grain roasting vessel, a game’s pawn) as well as organic finds (macroscopic plant remains, animal remains) were acquired. The research results indicate that this place probably served as a watchtower, or possibly a navigation point used from the second half of the 8th century to the beginning of the 9th. The population living there made use of crops (barley, millet, wheat), pursued animal husbandry (pigs, ruminants), as well as gathered (blackberries, hazelnuts), hunted (wild boar, red deer), fished (Cyprinidae species), and caught marine mammals.
