Discussion: Not a very obvious form - but appears to be a moulded fixture to f6 with 'negative' space for holding some timber. Its position and association with the puddled surface suggests the fixture of a ladder to the South wall but exactly how is hard to envisage. - perhaps the side of the ladder was simply set into the recess, but it is by no means unambiguous.

A more convincing example is possibly on the opposing wall, F10, S face ( see graphic 97-171)

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:: 8  Unit description: This unit derives solely from flotation Sample 3, 100% sorted, recorded completely. It is a tiny unit of tiny pieces, none over 1 cm. None are diagnostic, and most look rather rolled. There is little burning or digestion. A fish vertebra and what may have originally been one largish piece of burnt eggshell have been pulled. This looks like what we think of as a floor assemblage. Last number = 8

Figurine Records: No

GroundStone Records: No

Heavy Residue Records: No

Microfaunal Records: No Sorry not all of this data is available online at present, please contact us if you are particularly interested microfauna records

Phytolith Sample: No Sorry not all of this data is available online at present, please contact us if you are particularly interested phytolith samples
