Light brown in color with a good proportion of elements burnt. Several fragments of antler (burnt). Only two ID elements. Cattle and sheep size elements. X-plot bone [cut off in data transfer!] Sample 1 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. Moderate size sample; mostly little crumbles, but some pieces up to 4 cm. Mostly sheep-size, but some large mammal, and some equid tooth fragments. Only diagnostics are some very fragmented phalanges. Quite a bit of burning, high and low temperatures. Some digestion, rather weathered. No coherence. Looks like dirty fill with burning. Last number = 67
