AbstractBrief abstract written by HRAF anthropologists who have done the subject indexing for the document
Van Zeist and W. Waterbolk-van Rooijen analyzed the floral remains from the tell. They examined 13 samples retrieved from the site; only two of which were from the Late Neolithic. The Late Neolithic samples consist mainly of wheats, barley, and field weeds. Only the data that pertain to the Ceramic Neolithic (here termed Late Neolithic) were indexed for Outline of Cultural Materials subjects. The data on Halaf were not indexed for Outline of Cultural Materials subjects as there is a separate eHRAF collections on Halaf (M086).
