Unit description: Infill from Building 9 A large unit ( app 2200 L) with a very small amount of bone.There is a fair percentage of identifiables considering the size of the sample. We have occasional large pieces of diagnostics, almost no medium-size bone fragments and a flot sample with a fair amount of small pieces. Is this very clean but erratic fill, or bad sieving? Large mammal and sheep-size are both represented, there is also one carnivore phalanx. Colour ranges from light brown to black but is in general fairly light. There is a relatively large amount of burning, especially of the sheep-size long bone fragments. A piece of long bone from a large mamimal showed some polishing and a narrow hole made all the way through this piece of bone making it 37mm deep. 4mm flotation samples #1-4 were recorded for diagnostics only. All the samples were small in size and contained mainly sheep-size bone fragments. Burnt bone was uncommon, whilst digested bone was present. Samples #1 and #4 contained a single piece of fish bone each. Last Number = F81Figurine Records: No Ground Stone Records: Yes
Count of records:: 4 Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
