Unit description: A smallish unit, mostly tiny scrap, with one huge long bone shaft fragment, and an X-find consisting of what looks like an extremely fragmented cattle horn core and skull piece. Small scrap quite worn. A high percentage of microfauna, including one burnt piece. Overall, though, relatively little burning. All out of flotation, or part of the X-find. >4mm completed. The lone identifiable bone from the flot ( a distal metapodial fragment) is bagged as 3577 ID bone, together with the X find skull/horn core.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
