Faunal Records: Yes Count of records:: 100  Unit description: A medium-sized unit, with perhaps a fifth of its bones diagnostics. Intensive processing for marrow or grease is apparent in the fractures. There are both 007 and 003 pieces, including ribs and long bones. There is some digestion and some burning. Nothing goes together. Weathering is mostly moderate, although there are some fragments with only light weathering. Body part distribution is fairly even. There is a pendant preform. 4mm flotation sample # 2 was recorded for diagnostics only. Last number= 100
