Most likely the fruit of Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill.; crab apple tree; Holzapfelbaum. 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 normalise to Malus sylvestris (L.) Mill. unless the evidence against this identification is irrefutible.
