X5963 is the fill of a filled well in the oldest phase of the site. The sample contains moss, sphagnum, insect remains, cereal bran and approximately 50-70 seeds from various plant species. Some of the species that have been found are Agrostemma githago, Urtica urens, (uncarbonised) Corylus avellana, Fragaria cf. moschata, Asteraceae, Solanum sp., Rumex sp., Ranunculus sp., Polygonum aviculare and Juncus sp.. The sample contains both species that are indicative of the natural environment, as well as species that could be interpreted as cultivated or economic species, such as Corylus avellana and Fragaria. The species richness and diversity, as well as the preservation of the seeds could be suitable for answering the research question relating to the reconstruction of the landscape at time of the filling of the well. Because of the potential to answer the specific research, the sample can be recommended for further analysis.
