Unit 1542
Category: layer dug in 1996
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: ash/charcoal midden
Data Category Information: Location: external; Deposition: finely bedded
Dimensions: 0.36m x 1.71m x 0.2m
Discussion: Heterogeneous unit comprising of thin layers of various forms of midden deposit - some clayey yellow; some ashy and extremely charcoal rich. Towards the centre of this was an unusually concentrated deposit of animal bone in which cluster1572 was recorded. Most of these were fragmented, though some large bone ends were intact. Similar observations were made in the equivalent units excavated in spaces 106 and 107.

Unit description: Medium size unit consisting of D.S material. Some large chunks of cattle size fragments (Bos and Equid). A lot of the material in the unit is highly processed sheep and cattle size rib and long bone fragments. Surface condition is fairly normal, and there is no evidence of gnawing or digestion. There is a pathological first phalanx from an equid that shows signs of infection and extra bone growth. Other species represented include fox and pig. Bird bone recorded and extracted.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
