A single charred barley grain (Sample 130A) from a discrete midden deposit (Context 248) on the floor of structure H (House 3), sealed by rubble from collapse of the building. Possibly part of a post- abandonment dump. Possibly part of a discrete deposit (perhaps in sack, subsequently decayed) deliberately stored in the corner of the room.
