Dear all,



I am looking at some assemblages from a MBA pit in Turkey and have a sample full of heavily wrinkled grape seeds. The seeds are not fully rounded-out as with most that I have seen in archaeological deposits and appear to be partly formed. The logical conclusion is that they are immature. Having a quick scan through the literature I cannot find discussion or illustrations of anything similar. Does anyone know of any similar finds or have any opinion on what the wrinkling tells us?



Cheers

Andy
