Stellaria (Caryophyllaceae)

Nine carbonized Stellaria sp. (chickweed or starwort) seeds were recovered from the mid-upper levels of 45K. All nine seeds are associated with the Rojdi C occupation. These tubercle seeds were all roundish and flat with radiating grooves or furrows. Their mean diameter was about 1 mm. Stellaria is common throughout temperate regions, especially on the plains of India. It is a genus of annual or perennial herbs often thought of as common weeds. While there is some reference to Stellaria being grown as a green manure, it is generally regarded as a troublesome weed found in cultivated fields. It is used as a fodder for cattle and has various medicinal uses.
