Unit description: Tiny unit with 2 small scraps of bone. Not very weathered. Sample 3 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. Largish sample, mostly consisting of fragmented remains of a chunk of cattle skull + horn core. The rest is little bits of sheep-size and large mammal scrap (except for one phalanx fragment). One piece each of eggshell and microfauna. Horn unburnt, fair amount of burning among the rest, mostly low temperature. Weathering variable, with some very fresh, some rather weathered, and some solid but trampled. There appear to be multiple origins: fill, or floor plus fill. Horn core chunk could relate to inclusion of demolished installation. Last number = 28Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
