Two grains of barley and onegrain of rye were also identified.Altogether 185 plant remains were collected,of which 121 were charred (marked in the tablewith a star). Due to the acidity of soil and theprevailing climatic conditions in Finland, it ismost likely that only charred plant parts wouldhave been preserved from the periods of ancienthuman activity at the site. Thus uncharred plantremains are mainly seen as modern contamination,with one possible exception. The bottomof the ditch could have provided suitable water-80
