Unit 13153

Category: Cluster    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: fill with animal bone concentration 

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

Dimensions: N-S=0.50m; E-W=0.50m, depth=0.10m 

Discussion: Concentration of animal bone on final floor of Space 287, Building 64. Could represent a final "feast." In addition to well preserved sheep horn core, a number of other, non-articulated sheep bones were found. These were taken with the fill surrounding the horn core and sent for flotation.
