Denotes post-hoc pooling, P>0.25; new F-values are given for those tested against the pooled term. Results of SNK tests are also reported. NB = no burial, AC = artifact control, CB = complete burial, PB = partial burial. A1, A2 = area 1 or 2, S1, S2 = site 1 or 2, N− = no nutrient added, N+ = nutrient added.
