Discussion: s3 are phytoliths from under scapuli x6 from unit 2296
s4 are phytoliths from under scapuli x4 from unit 2296
s6 are phytoliths from under scapuli x17 from unit 2296
In removing some bones we could not separate the orange layer from the black layer. They were sent together for flotation in those instances.

Unit description: A medium-small unit, coming from the >4mm flot residue sample 1. (This is the bone from around the scapularium, unit 2296). A small proportion of material is burnt, and all at low temperatures. Material is not very weathered (e.g. mostly stage 2). Of sheep-size, there are long bone shaft fragments, ribs, verts, skull fragments, plus two diagnostics - a malleolus and sesamoid. Of cattle-size, there is a long bone shaft fragment, a possible horn core fragment and undiagnostics. The bone is mostly small (1-2 cm), but a couple larger. Quite a bit of fish (including a large head bone), some amphibian (?) bones, and a bird? Fish bone from >4mm flot (2 grams) exported for identification purposes. NR 2003: Sample 8 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded as flot frags only (no diagnostics). This is a smallish sample, about half of it composed of little fragments of large mammal scapula. The rest is assorted little bits of large mammal and sheep-size scrap, many burnt, a few digested, most quite fresh. Looks like sweepings or rather primary remains of daily meals, perhaps sifted through a mat. There is a piece of amphibian microfauna and one of fish, both burnt.
