Unit description: Dry sieve is a small unit with several medium-size pieces of fairly evenly burnt bone, all sheep-size. Includes an articulated ankle. Could all be from one individual. A little friable from burning, but surfaces very little weathered. Flotation samples (3, 4, 5) have >4mm bone (100% sorted) recorded here. S3 has a tiny amount of bone, all sheep-sized scrap. All 1cm fragments, and edges seem a bit battered/reworked. One piece seems burnt (brown). S3=F10-15. S4 consists of just 3 pieces of sheep-sized scrap, all <1cm long, all burnt (2 browned, 1 charred) but condition not bad. F16-17. S5 consists of about 10 fragments of sheep-size scrap, almost all less than 1cm long. One is a rib head, another a piece of mandible, but the rest indeterminate. Pieces appear slightly rolled on edges,although actual surface condition is quite good. One fragment charred. F18-22. Bone from the samples is fairly typical of floors. Last record = F22.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
