Unit 18178

Category: Cluster    dug in 2009

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: horn core cluster 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Material: animal bone; Deposition: secondary deposition; Basal Spit: horncores

Description: Group of three horn cores and a scapula (all cattle). The cores overlay each other and are squashed into one another from the weight of the soil overlying the cluster. 

Discussion: group of horn cores lying on the lining of pit 4047. Initially thought to be associated with the function/use of the pit. However, 2 horncores were also found within the backfill of the pit (18153), so seems to be incidental - part of the closure of the pit. 

Recognition: Obvious, horn cores 

Definition: clear 

Execution: trowel 

Condition: warm
