Lab Team Data

Please note the list below does not represent everything that might have been found in this Unit, but represents the datasets we have available on-line. Please contact us to obtain more information about this Unit.

ArchaeoBots Sample Recorded: No

Ceramic Records: No

Clay Object Records: No

Chipped Stone Records: No

Conservation Recorded: No

Faunal Records: Yes Count of records:: 1  Unit description: Bird bone only pulled from Sample 2 >4mm flotation, 100%. Rest of sample not recorded, but it is small and contains rather fresh-looking bits of sheep-size bone. The unit sheet indicates this is oven construction material, which seems reasonable in terms of volume, but the surface condition does not look like redeposited bone. It suggests bits that hadn't been lying around very long were incorporated into the otherwise sterile building material. Last number = 1

Figurine Records: No

GroundStone Records: No

Heavy Residue Records: No

Microfaunal Records: No Sorry not all of this data is available online at present, please contact us if you are particularly interested microfauna records

Phytolith Sample: No Sorry not all of this data is available online at present, please contact us if you are particularly interested phytolith samples
