Little Barley
The Deer Track grass seeds (technically they are caryposes) are little barley (Hordeum pusillum). They are nearly as abundant as knotweed, and they comprise 32.8% of identifiable seeds. Little barley was present in one-quarter of the flotation samples—more than twice as many samples as the second most ubiquitous seed type, goosefoot.
