Hi Esteemed Archaeobotanical Colleagues:

I am working on an assemblage from southern Arabia and I came across the following seed (?). It is 0.25 mm sq. in size, generally ovoid in cross-section shape with a small flat margin on the lateral side and circular on the ventral/dorsal ends. I thought perhaps wild Fabaceae or Papaveracaeae but none of the examples in my reference material match.

Any ideas?

Cheers,
Abby
