Unit 1349
Category: layer dug in 1996
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: fill of hollow
Data Category Information: Location: feature; Description: basin; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit
Dimensions: 30 x 56 x 10 cm
Discussion: Fill of oval hollow in floor -very similar to layer above and only separated for sampling reasons; the feature itself could be a hearth. The floor is certainly fired red near the centre and in places along its lip though this may simply be where a destruction fire was started, the feature itself originally being perhaps a food preparation area with the central flat stone as a grinder. Therefore linked to the lentil bin to the south. Note the feature is skew with respect to the bin but aligned with the relief on the south wall.

Unit description: Consists of 1 antler tine, unburnt, rather crumbly. Sample 2 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. Smallish sample, mostly consisting of crumbles of burnt sheep/goat horn core. Otherwise, little bits of mostly sheep-size scrap, much of it burnt at low temperatures. Tiny burnt freshwater snail. A little digested. Weathering somewhat variable, but mostly well-preserved; one piece looks water worn. No coherence. Antler perhaps placed; rest looks like fill, or maybe low traffic floor.
