Two samples from a LIA pit produced a large quantity of the chaff of glumed wheats, of which both emmer and spelt wheat were represented by well preserved glume bases and spikelet forks. Emmer wheat outnumbered spelt quite significantly in this deposit. The rachis of six-row hulled barley is also well represented in the samples. Occasional culm nodes could derive from either the hulled wheats or the barley. The paucity of grain in relation to the glume bases and rachis would suggest that it is the processing by-product that is represented of all three crops rather than stored ears or spikelets. The fact that wheat and barley chaff is present together demonstrates that the deposit represents the mixed by-product more than one processing episode: barley is a free-threshing cereal which is processed very differently from spelt and emmer which are hulled wheats and require an additional stage of processing. The presence of fragments of hazelnut shell further indicates the mixed origin of this sample. Numerous weed seeds present in the pit deposits derived largely from ruderal species of disturbed ground. Also abundant were seeds of vetches/vetchlings/tares which are common in both disturbed ground and grassland habitats. A number of tubers of present in one sample suggested that at least some of the plants represented were uprooted. However, there were no cereal type grass rhizomes to suggest the cereals had been harvested by uprooting. The presence of corn spurrey, sheep’s sorrel and scentless mayweed suggest the cultivation of light sandy soils. Black bindweed is particularly strongly associated with spring sown barley. The sample from Early Romano-British ditch is different to those from the LIA pit, producing a more mixed assemblage, with grain out numbering chaff elements. Interestingly, no emmer wheat is represented in this sample, with spelt wheat being the only wheat species identified.

The most significant feature of all the samples is the high number of germinated grains, mainly of spelt wheat, although most of the barley grain had also germinated; no barley chaff was found in the entire assemblage. The high presence of germinated grain can be related to malting and since few grains show no sign of germination it is reasonable to suggest that most of the deposits derived from malting waste.
