Unit description: Fairly small midden unit dominated by sheep-sized remains, though Bos, equid, pig, and carnivore remains are present as well. Sheep body part representation is relatively even, with several jaws with teeth still in them. Other taxa are represented by isolated teeth and long bone shaft fragments. Little evidence for burning (a few isolated pieces) and a low-level of gnawing/digestion on the sheep-sized remains. A poorly-preserved Bos calcaneus also has gnaw marks on its epiphyseal end, though this element stands out with its state of weathering/salt damage.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
