Dear Ines and Francoise,
What is the interpretation of the hazelnuts? I’m curious because I found a similar one in a Mesolithic context in southern
Sweden, see attached photo. (The photo shows two sides of the same nut.) Is this underdevelopment only natural, and do you know if it is caused by any specific conditions? Or was it just picked before it was fully developed?
Best wishes,
Per

Dear all
Does anyone recognize this picture of hazelnuts? I can't remember where I got them (if no one claims them I will start thinking I took them myself!) but I have similar ones and would like to credit the author if they
are published.
Thanks for the help and best wishes
Ines
