NOTE: This table presents charred reproductive parts from flotation samples obtained from thermal features (hearths and firepits) with primary refuse from within towers, kivas, and surface rooms interpreted as habitations. Macrofossil data (signified by an asterisk *) are included here and indicate that the taxon was not present in the flotation sample but was hand-excavated from primary refuse in the same feature.
