Thank you Lucy! And many thanks also to Lara, Maria, Aldona, Naomi and Amaia! Yes, Eleocharis endosperm it is! I could confirm it with some surgery on modern references. (See attached phot, with modern Eleocharis palustris to the left and one of the charred medieval ones to the right.) All the best, Per Från: biax <[log in to unmask]> Skickat: den 18 augusti 2018 08:51 Till: The archaeobotany mailing list <[log in to unmask]>; Per Lagerås <[log in to unmask]> Ämne: Re: ID help with small seeds from Sweden Hello Per, I think these are Eleocharis endosperm Best Lucy -- Met vriendelijke groet, Dr. Lucy Kubiak-Martens Senior KNA-specialist Archeobotanie botanische macroresten, parenchym en organische residuen [https://webmail.xs4all.nl/?_task=mail&_action=get&_mbox=Sent&_uid=7504&_token=zWWZgMnj0WBQdg51BDo7bTAZnus72rPR&_part=2.2&_embed=1&_mimeclass=image] Symon Spiersweg 7-D2, 1506 RZ Zaandam +31 (0)75 6161010 www.biax.nl<http://www.biax.nl/> Per Lagerås schreef op 2018-08-09 14:28: Dear all, Could anyone please help me identifying these small seeds? They are small (less than one mm) and roundish flattened. Many of them have broken into halves before they got charred, like the two ones in the bottom row. On the left one (and also on the right one) in the upper row it is possible to see a slight shift in the surface structure where they would break. They were found in a rather diverse sample from a medieval (13th century) oven. The sample included cereals (barley, rye, oats), weeds/ruderals and some grassland/hay fodder species.
