The abstract describing the content of the publication or report
Abstract:		 Describes the plant remains found during the excavation of the site of Staosnaig, which indicate substantial plant use during the Mesolithic. Reports that a very large number of hazelnuts were exploited at this site within a short period of time, together with a substantial quantity of Ranunculus ficaria. Includes radiocarbon dates ranging between 7330--6910 BC and 138--384 AD, although most of the dates establish a Mesolithic context for the site. Supports David Clark's 1976 writings regarding the economic basis of the Mesolithic.
