Table summarizing organic residue analysis results by period in relation to the relative frequency of pottery and description of stone artifacts, plant, and faunal remains

Period associates dates (×103 cal B.P.) Samples analyzed Samples yielding lipids (%)* Samples yielding aquatic biomarkers (%) (with partial set) Relative pottery abundance to stone artifact Stone artifact assemblage Species representation (aquatic to terrestrial, a/t)§

Greater than 0.2 µg⋅mg−1.

Pottery weights for the area excavated were estimated from analysis of a partial sample (12 m2) with layers S1 to Z1. It is expressed relative to the amount of stone artifact.

Order of frequency.
