ArchaeoBots Sample Recorded: No

Ceramic Records: No

Clay Object Records: No

Chipped Stone Records: No

Conservation Recorded: No

Faunal Records: Yes Count of records:: 19  Unit description: Medium-sized unit with a smaller dominance of sheep-sized bones than a typical midden unit. Bos and equid remains are somewhat common (20-30%), dominated by limb shaft fragments and some axial elements, though a good number of articular ends survive. Sheep-sized remains are more evenly spread, with a more even representation of axial and cranial elements compared to the limb elements. Little-no evidence of gnawing or digestion, which is unusual for midden units. F1 is a bone tool on a sheep tibia, F2 and F3 are articulated fragments of Bos ulna and radius (no measurement on the radius) that are not fused together but are missing the portion where they would more clearly fuse.

Figurine Records: No
