X4870 is sampled from a corridor outside a stand. Different from the other samples this sample was dry and was hence divided into four fractions: >6,3 mm, >2 mm, >1 mm <1 mm. The biggest sample was only screened without microscope. The archaeobotanical remains included fragments of Corylus avellana nut shells (Hassel), Persicaria maculosa-/lapathifolia, Carex sp., Rumex sp. and cf. linum sp.. In addition to these the sample contained uncarbonised wood fragments, fish scales- and bones, dried stems/pieces of moss other bonefragments and a very small bone possibly from mouse. The botanical material in the sample was spread over several species and the remains of bones from different animals makes the sample very suitable for further analysis both archaeobotanical and maybe also zooarchaeological. The composition of species resembles that of both household - and human waste and supports an interpretation of the corridor where waste is thrown.
