Subject: Help with seed ID
Hi Archaeolobotany list members.
I'm having a little trouble with a few really small seeds from a romano-british site.
Its the really small seeds idicated in the attached image.
The large Chenopodium sp. (bottom left) and the Juncus sp. (bottom right) are in shot for scale.
I did wonder if it was possible to get very small Brassica nigra or Sinapis arvensis seeds (as they do resemble those) but they seem too small.
Any help, assistance or pointers much appreciated.
Thanks
Charles Simpson
