Unit description: Priority Unit Flot sample 2464 The only bones in this unit were a large number of rodent bones in the 4mm heavy residue fraction. Bagged as microfauna, but not recorded. 2003: Those rodent bones must have been deliberately separated. I found another bag of sample 2 (same flot) with the rest. It is a smallish sample, with a fish pharyngeal arch and otherwise mostly little crumbles of variably worn, mostly sheep-size scrap. Some burning and a little digestion. A little too variable for floor, more like fill. This material is from an obsidian cluster. I would guess that most of the bone filtered in from the fill, but it sounds as though owl pellets might have been deliberately placed with the obsidian. Last number = 17Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
