X4207 is derived from a pit. The research question related to this sample is what the function of this pit is, and whether it concerns a manure pit. The sample contains a high amount of seeds (80-100) and several charred cereal grains. The species diversity in this sample is high, and this, combined with the presence of other remains, such as fishbone, insect remains, insect pupae and mosses, indicate a nitrogen rich environment. Economic species that have been found in this sample are Linum usitatissimum (hør), Rubus ideaus (hindbær), Rubus cf. Fruticosus (mulig brombær), and cereal bran (klid). In addition to these species, the sample also contains some weed species that can be associated with specific plant species. Agrostemma githago (almindelig klinte) and Centaurea cf. cyanus (kornblomst) are associated with rye cultivation.
This sample can be used to answer the research question related to the feature.
Because of the high amount of seeds and presence of other organic materials such as insects, fishbones and mosses, this sample is suitable for analysis of different kinds.
