*This measurement was incorrectly reported in the original publication as 9418±60BP and as taken on a pig metacarpal. It was also originally published under the internal laboratory tracking number (R-24999/2). This is incorrect and the measurement should in future be identified by its internationally agreed unique identifier: NZA-11038 (ex info Rafter Radiocarbon).
** This measurement was incorrectly reported in the original publication as on hazelnuts. It was also originally published under the internal laboratory tracking number (R-24999/1). This is incorrect and the measurement should in future be identified by its internationally agreed unique identifier: NZA-11037 (ex info Rafter Radiocarbon).
