Beside these also some grains of the crop were found. Large-seeded grasses, which may have grown as cereal weeds appeared in high counts. The spectrum of other wild species was also very broad. The lower city, which reached already about 2500 BC its maximum extension of 130 ha, was not excavated systematically, and therefore no archaeobotanical samples were taken from this part of the settlement until now.

Rare finds of fig and grape seeds could also derive from fruits collected from wild trees.
