Unit description: Cluster in NW corner of Space 117 in Building 2, in a deposit of dumped or collapsed building material. It consists of two segments of horn core, a chunk of frontal, and a distal humerus, all cattle. It was noted in the field that the two horn core segments could be from same horn, or same individual. Breakage on upper piece especially looks like fractured when already dry. Both segments had maximum diameters of ca. 75 mm; neither appears to have a base or tip. All were noted as being in poor condition in the field, and are now largely piles of crumbles, save for the shaft of the humerus. These are certainly the remains of some event, and may be related to the feasting spread on the floor of the building. If so, it suggests they were dumped as part of the demolition and filling process, and then perhaps lay exposed for a while before the next step in filling and construction of the next building.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
