Appendix F Flotation Samples The tables in Appendix F include the inventory of flotation samples analyzed and their contents. In the digital files accompanying this volume (YH F1– 3), samples are numbered 1 to 225 in Column A or Row A in rough order by period and locus number. Occupation debris samples are listed as follows: YHSS 1:Columns 1–15; YHSS 3: Columns 16–19, excluding 24 and 39; YHSS 4: Columns 50–102; YHSS 5: Columns 103–117; YHSS 6: Columns 118–125, excluding 118, 119, 125; YHSS 7: Columns 126–191; YHSS 8/9: Columns 192–223; YHSS 10: Columns 224–225. Following those samples are the ones from the floor deposits of the three burned buildings: 226–238 (Early Phrygian Terrace Building 2A, YHSS 620); 239–240 (Hellenistic “Abandoned Village,” YHSS 350); 241–252 (Early Iron Age “BRH”=Burnt Reed House, YHSS 725); 261–687 (other flotation samples taken in 1988 and 1989). Table F1 Inventory of Samples List of samples analyzed for this report, brief context information, summary statistics and miscellaneous contents. In the accompanying digital files, Column A: row/column number; Columns B–F: basicprovenienceinformation ;ColumnG:stratigraphic designation; Column H: Mary Voigt’s description of context; Column I: Naomi F. Miller’s interpretation of context description; Column J: context simplified for sorting by category; Columns K–R: summary statistics; Column S: date analyzed; Columns T–Z: non-plant items found in the samples Table F2 Data from Flotation Samples Each column records one sample. Below the provenience information are data on amounts of economic plants (weight or count), seed counts of wild and weedy plants, counts of plant parts, counts of uncharred mineralized (i.e., possibly ancient) and uncharred modern seeds. Table F3 Contents of Heavy Fractions The samples are numbered in the same row/column order as in Appendices F1 and F2 and list charred plant remains removed from the heavy fraction without the aid of a microscope.
