I was about to say the same as Mark - look at Morus nigra. I'm sure we have reference material if you need to compare.

Dear Alys,
They look somewhat like calcium phosphate replaced
seeds of Morus nigra.
Best wishes,
Mark
The Museum of Natural History is closed to the public throughout
2013 to carry out much-needed roof repairs. Curatorial work and
scientific research continue, and our Education team is running a
targeted outreach programme. Please check our website for
updates and special activities.
The Pitt Rivers Museum is open as normal throughout the closure.

Hello again,
Following the splendidly rapid identification of the fly puparia, i
don't suppose
these ring any bells too? They're seeds this time. They're about 2mm
diameter, sort of flattened triangular shape. One resembles Polygonum,
but it doesn't seem quite right for the others.
Thanks again,
Alys
