Unit description: No material from the dry sieve. Sample 1 >4mm flotation 100% sorted. It is a moderate size sample and seems to contain two components in approximately equal quantities. One has the look of reworked fill or maybe construction material. Mostly little crumbles but a few larger pieces, rather worn and rolled, looking very redeposited. The other half looks quite fresh, including some rather delicate pieces, among them a segment of young dog skull. There is much the same range of fragment sizes, but if limited to old breaks it is probably mostly in somewhat larger pieces, up to 5 cm or so. This may be sweepings or the remains of daily post-consumption discard on the floor. In addition to the dog, there is a little sheep/goat and a cattle phalanx, also some probably amphibian microfauna. There is a small boar's tusk fishhook, missing the tip through a modern break; it would be worth checking the 2mm for it. Rough DZ count: cattle - .5 Nothing worth measuring. Last number = 1Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
