Unit description: Consists of 1 sheep distal tibia, rather weathered. Sample 2 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. Smallish sample of little grungy bits of mostly sheep-size scrap. A couple are in the 3-4 cm range, but most are ca. 1 cm or less. There is a little burning, mostly low temperature; no gnawing or digestion. The bone is fairly weathered and looks kicked around; no coherence. Looks like somewhat dirty floor.
