Om genstanden
5 liter jord udtaget fra 3063 som vådprøve med henblik på makrofossilanalyse. Prøvemotivation: Indholdssammensætningen ønskes kortlagt med henblik på identifikation af aktiviteterne kulturlaget repræsenterer. Laget antages at være et vækstlag i form af evt havejord. Kan dette evt be eller afkræftes?
Til Moesgård.
X5809 is described as a growth layer prior to construction. This sample contains approximately 40-50 seeds from various plant species. Most species, with the exception of Avena sp. (havre) and Corylus avellana (almindelig hassel), can be considered non-economic, whereas oats and hazelnut could have been part of the past diet. The shells of hazelnut in this sample are not carbonised.
Despite the relatively low amount of seeds, the sample could be recommended for further analysis, since it can give information regarding the surrounding environment prior to construction of the features.
