Table S1ESM The main table of archaeobotanical record per quadrants 4, 5 and 9 (Q4, Q5, Q9) and method (wash over– M3, rough-wet – M2, dry – M1): taxa, remain types, preservation, seed cover, total number, comparable value.

Table S2ESM Comparison of the number of remain types and Taxa of two differently treated samples from the quadrant 9 (Q9), 7th depth-cut, large fraction (3 mm): Method 3 (M3 - wash-over) versus method 1 (M1- dried). All the remains in a 40 ml subsample of the large fraction (3 mm mesh sieve) were counted.
Legend: T=thin-walled, fragile; H = hard-walled, robust; T/H = thin to hard, H/T = hard to thin; (?) = not sure; NC = noncarbonized (waterlogged), C = carbonized; Red … fragments of seeds/fruits, Blue … whole seeds/fruits and pericarps/fragments of seeds/fruits larger than 3 mm, Green … overall Total
