Unit description: A unit with not very many pieces, but average fragment size is quite large. Both hand-picked and flotation (sample 1, flot #3126, >4mm, 100%) portions. Not very many little crumbles at all. About equal sheep-size and large mammal bones. No verts or feet. Mostly quite weathered, especially the large pieces. Almost no burning. Little digestion. Quite different from other supposed 'floor' units-- more like an exposed surface with large pieces on it. Not 'clean'.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
