Contents: Flotation Analysis
Description: A total of 173 flotation samples was analyzed for RCD. All samples were processed using the swirl and pour flotation system (Watson 1976:78-80). A random grab sample of at least 25 specimens was selected for wood charcoal identification. All identifiable carbonized seeds were identified, although to varying taxonomic levels.
