Unit description: Unit described as trample in uppermost floor of space 157, building 5. There is no dry sieve, but numerous samples from >4mm heavy residue, which were 100% sorted and recorded here (S3, 9, 10, 11, 12, 15, 17, 20, 22, 23, 27, 28, 30, 32, 33, 34, 42, 45, 46). On labels these are called S3.1, 9.1 etc. and it is not clear why, so in each case the .1 suffix not used here. Each sample has a tiny amount of bone. Many have just one frag, others maybe 3 frags maximum. Altogether there is about 20% charred, condition is fair (stages 2 or 3), fragmentation very high (most are below 1cm, many are just a couple of mm in length). There are no diagnostics, and all scrap seems sheep sized. Overall these samples seem to represent extremely low density debris, maybe bone that has been trampled into small fragments on a floor/surface.
