Interpretive Categories: Bones 

Data Category Information: Location: building; Material: animal bone; Deposition: primary deposition

Looks like feasting deposit. Carbonized cattle and cattle sized bones in very large pieces (estimate 25-30 cm), overlapping but ………. In deposit. The bones and peas are in extremely soft, dark soil mostly in the south and west parts of the bin. Are patches of harder, lighter=coloured martrix as well as- these are compertively barren.
