Om genstanden
5 l jord udtaget som vådprøve med henblik på makrofossilanalyse. Prøvemotivation: Indholdssammensætningen ønskes kortlagt med henblik på identifikation af de aktiviteter latrinet repræsenterer.
Til Moesgård.

X5885 is sampled - possibly from a cesspit. The sample was very rich in archaeobotanical remains. In the 100 ml sample 10 shells of grains were found as well as a spikelet of Secale cereale (Rug). The collection of weed seeds counted Fallopia convolvulus, Persicaria maculosa-/lapathifolia, Carex, Urtica cf. urens and Potentilla/fragaria sp.. In addition to this the sample contained severeal pieces of moss. The archaeobotanical remains, especially the grain shells show a clear picture of the content of a cesspit and a further analysis is highly recommendable.
