Supplementary Material: Charred Plant Remains from Jawa

The table gives the results of identifications obtained from the charred remains from the 1970 season at Jawa. The 14C samples were selected from them. Only dry sieving (as opposed to flotation) was possible due to lack of water during the excavation. Charred remains were hand-picked from the sieved material which inevitably resulted in a limited data set. Despite this, the results demonstrate that a typical assemblage of cultivated cereals and pulses were in use at Jawa during the Early Bronze Age. Fuel was obtained from forest species which today grow on the western slopes of the Jebel Druze between 1100 and 1500 m a.s.l. situated between 40 and 50 km northwest of Jawa. During the Early Bronze Age these trees may have been growing further east and would have been nearer the site.
