In the given context the gloss apoltre is wrong.
Although different kinds of apples were used (cf. →æppel (1)), identifying a distinct species is nearly impossible for this period (cf. Banham 1990,107ff and Hagen 1995,50); archeobotanists tend to normalising to Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill. unless the evidence is irrefutible.
