Lab Team Data

Please note the list below does not represent everything that might have been found in this Unit, but represents the datasets we have available on-line. Please contact us to obtain more information about this Unit.

ArchaeoBots Sample Recorded: No

Ceramic Records: No

Clay Object Records: No

Chipped Stone Records: No

Conservation Recorded: No

Faunal Records: Yes Count of records:: 40  Unit description: A small unit with mostly small fragments, but with some larger (>10 cm). Generally has very little burnt bone. Condition of bone indicates that it has been rolled or battered - it does not have smooth clean surfaces and breaks like some units (e.g. from 'middens'). This material is from pit fill, but does not look like dumping of waste, but more like derived material from other sources. There are few diagnostics - just a couple of sheep/goat size. Non-diagnostics are mainly from sheep/goat size (all parts of body represented), with a couple of cattle/equid size. 4mm, flotation sample #2, 100% sorted, was completely recorded. The only diagnostic bone was a fusing sheep 2nd phalanx. Last record= F40
