Finds Room Information:
All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

Unit description: Bone tool. [can't find this record -sm] Sample 5 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. Small sample of fairly small pieces up to 2-3 cm. Mostly sheep-size, some large mammal. Some burning and digestion. Weathering variable, mostly fairly fresh. No coherence. Looks like fill with sparse materials: not primary, not trampled enough for floor, average size (ca. 1 cm) a little large for floor. Sample 6 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. Small sample with slightly larger average fragment size. A little burning, a little gnaw, a little digestion. Weathering variable; some trampled, some not. Pretty similar to sample 5. Sample 7 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. Smaller pieces, all less than 2 cm. A little burning, rather trampled, no coherence. Could be floor, or sparser part of fill. Sample 8 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. Small sample, mostly small pieces, but several larger (3-4 cm, including one big chunk of large mammal long bone). One tiny scrap of a burnt bone tool. Some burning, weathering quite variable. Looks like fill of mixed origin. Sample 9 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. Similar to sample 8, but a little less. Mostly small pieces, some up to 3 cm. Little burning, weathering variable. Looks very mixed, like fill. Sample 10 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. Several small bits, looking rather trampled. A bit of fish and several microfaunal specimens. A little burning. Looks like floor. Last number = 77Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
