Abstract
De Moulins examined 94 flotation samples from four trenches to analyze the plant remains from Abu Hureyra 2. Plant species are shown as percentages of the total identified per phase and trench. Many of the remains are weed seeds as people would have been careful to preserve the cereal grains for food. The weed seeds, on the other hand, would have been picked out of the eatable grains and burned, thus preserving them.
