Finds Room Information:

All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

Faunal Records: Yes Count of records:: 10  Unit description: This cluster unit, which lacks a flotation sample, was a concentration in a Space 115 midden (1542). It is a moderate size unit. There is a certain integrity to it, in the form of a couple of articulated joints, but no particular coherence. There is a range of taxa, little of which seems likely to go together other than the immediately articulating pieces. Processing seems about as usual for a midden. There is a range of body parts, but short on meaty long bones, even long bone shafts, although there are ribs and vertebrae. So conceivably a dump of butchery waste, but if so from several different animals and only bits of each. Surface condition is good, with very little burning or digestion. Fragmentation is moderate. Certainly rapidly buried, in firm secondary context, but does not seem to be an event per se; perhaps a gathering up of some larger pieces of bone to clear space for activities in the midden area. It is weighted toward the larger taxa, even in the scrap. One tool (preform fragment), one bird coracoid. Rough DZ count: O/C - 2, cattle - 2.5, equid - 4 Also an infantile pig frontal. Only measurable (and those that articulate with them), bird, and worked bone recorded.
