Unit description: 2014 recording protocol. Medium size unit with a moderate amount of processing resulting in only a small number of recordable fragments overall. Unit consisted of D.S and >4mm flotation. D.S includes mainly cattle and sheep size fragments. Cattle fragments include large vertebrae, long bone shafts and rib fragments. Sheep fragments include metapodials, toes and shaft fragments. Pig teeth were also found and recorded for this unit. There was a very small amount of burning. Surface condition was variable with some fragments moderate and others heavy. There was also a small amount of gnawing and a small amount of digestion. Flot: Mainly sheep size fragments and unidentifiable scrap, one pig tooth was recordable, egg shell and fish bone extracted. Scrap weight=67g. Overall the unit has coherence and is typical of a midden unit.Figurine Records: Yes
