Unit description: Smallish unit, mostly sheep-size, but some cattle-size bone. Fairly even element distribution, but without feet. Weathering variable but mostly good condition. Fairly fragmented, but some larger pieces. Some burning, quite a bit of gnawing, some cylinders. Cattle maxilla with complete tooth row. Seems like food debris worked over by dogs, buried relatively quickly. Fairly similar to 1768, but with more gnawing instead of digestion, complementary body parts. Quite a bit of >4 mm flotation residue, 100% sorted, recorded completely. Nearly all sheep-size. Includes some diagnostic bits, notably a disintegrated sheep/goat maxilla. One phalanx fragment and two sesamoids, so feet are represented here, but all these are digested, so they have come in only in the dog feces. Element distribution fairly even, but forelimb missing. Some burning, mostly low temperature, fair amount of digestion. Variable weathering, but only some very tiny bits seem rolled.
