X5962 is derived from a pit relating to some of the oldest activities at the site. The sample contained fragments of Agrostemma githago, whole seeds of Rubus idaeus (hindbær), Carex sp., Chenopodium album and Urtica cf. urens. In addition the sample contains fish scales- and bones, stem fragments, mosses and gravel. The finding of these plant remains suggests that the pit could have been some kind of cesspit with a very nutritious environment surrounding the pit supported by both Urtica and Carex. Based on the preliminary question for this sample and the above mentioned botanical remains an anlaysis of the sample could be recommended even though the amount of material is relatively limited.
