ArchaeoBots Sample Recorded: No

Ceramic Records: No

Clay Object Records: No

Chipped Stone Records: No

Conservation Recorded: No

Faunal Records: Yes Count of records:: 74  Unit description: Medium-size unit with variety of taxa including biggish pieces of large mammals. Wide range of elements represented. Features X1, a complete horn core + frontal of a smallish female ?aurochs. The horn is quite evenly carbonized; otherwise there is only a moderate amount of burning in the unit, most of it less intense. The surface of the horn core is quite fresh and unweathered, suggesting it was not mounted outside the house, but was buried quite quickly. There is also most of a wing of a large bird, with abundant cut marks. This seems less like simple 'garbage' than some of the outside deposits. Several bones appear chopped open through joint as though with a cleaver. 100% of 4mm flotation processed. Perhaps more burning than in the rest of the unit, including some of skull from horn core X1. Burning was perhaps localized in unit? Fragment of bone ring from 2mm flotation, sample 1. Also tip fragment of bone point, quite tiny, probably broken in use and possibly indicating activity area. Last number = 73
