X5977 contains material derived from a pit in the subsoil(?). The pit is assumed to belong to one of the oldest activities on the site. The sample consists mainly of sand and gravel. It contained a limited amount of seeds (<5) identified as Sambucus nigra (almindelig hyld) and Oenanthe cf. aquatica (billebo-klaseskærm), a plant commonly associated with wet environments. The other remains in this sample include a medium amount of charcoal and some fish bone. Because of the limited amount of botanical material, it is not possible to make interpretations about the natural environment.
