Description: Cruciferae seeds inside bin 2005 

 

Discussion: Cruciferae seeds inside bin 2005. Loads of them collected 100% and sent down to the lab.
Interestingly the bin was filled with clay in its eastern half with a very vertical edge (fill 11958) and subsequently the cruciferae come in. the fill above 11936 sealed the bin and I don’t exclude the possibility of it being deliberately placed there before the house collapse.
The seeds near the bottom of the bin were sticking together forming a mildly solid compaction. This could be the result of moisture or something else.
