Unit description: A small unit, more light than medium brown with a small amount of burnt material. Most identifiable bones are sheep-size, including a number of cartilage pieces, but there is also one cattle tooth and fragments from a smaller mammal. Additional taxa include one fish jaw from the same species that has appeared elsewhere and a fragment of human skull. X1 and X2 are a bone hook and a bone point respectively. NR 2003: Found another bag of dry-sieved material. It is still smallish and generally similar, but with perhaps somewhat more burning. Surface condition is somewhat variable but generally good. Fragments are not huge but not tiny, running mostly 2-6 cm. Last number = 81Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
