Abstract
This is a report on plant findings from a large-scale, systematic program of flotation. The authors discuss what types and species of plant remains were found and where they were found within the site. They hypothesize as to what the remains and their distributions mean for the economy, agriculture, and how food and other plants were processed and preserved at the site.
