Sheep size material was fairly fragmentary made up of vert fragmentss, long bone shaft fragments and other scrap material. A bone tool was extacted from this unit. There was a small amount of burning present and a few scraps showing signs of gnawing. The surface condition was overrall fairly normal. Flotation- Only 1 identifiable fragment which is an unfused first sheep/goat phalanx. There a a few larger fragments which are sheep size but the majority of the material is unidentifiable scrap size fragments. There was a small amount of burning present in the flot as well.
