Unit description: This is apparently a layer of fill/leveling below B. 1, which contains a quasi-complete cattle scapula. The scapula is fairly fresh; the rest of the material is unremarkable, and mixed in surface condition. It is a mix of sheep-size and large mammal, with moderate fragmentation and a little burning and digestion. Looks like mixed origins, like fill. The scapula might be a placed object (foundation deposit), or just a large piece thrown in. It is notably bigger than any other piece in the unit.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
