Unit description: All the bone in this unit comes from flotation (samples 2 and 3), except for one X-find. It is the basal fill of bin 4 in bld 5. There is a bag from flotation that doesn't have sample number, so this has been recorded as 4mm flot without sample number. The 1mm and 2mm sorts contain fish bones and scales, microfauna (including teeth), and some enamel fragments. There is one fragment of a cattle-sized animal's long bone; otherwise all the bone is from sheep-sized or smaller individuals. The only identifiable element is a fragment of proximal phalanx of a sheep or goat. About 20% (by bulk) is digested, and slightly less is burnt. The unnumbered sample contains a small amount of bone, with mostly sheep sized scrap (longbone, rib, skull) and a tiny amount of cattle sized scrap. The diagnostics are two sheep/gt loose teeth, a sheep/gt distal humerus (?) and a cattle sized pelvis (ischium) fragment. Much of the scrap is small (1cm), and rather battered in appearance, and the large frag of 07 pelvis (9cm long) has some cracks suggesting exposure or eroding in. Two pieces are digested, a few pieces burnt (black) - all in all suggesting mixed derivations and low integrity of this deposit. This seems consistent with the other samples above.
