Unit description: Flot sample 2 (2681), >4mm, 100% - fully analyzed. No dry sieve. This is a flotation sample from an oven base. There is a bit more bone than usual in these fire installation structures, but the type of material is not unusal. Small pieces of bone that appear to have been exposed to fairly even low tempeatures. Unlike some othe similar units, where all the bone seemed to have been exposed to exactly the same degree of (well insulate) heat, there is a bit of mixing here with variation from dark brown to black. Overall still seems like incidental burning of small fill bits that were sealed in or just below oven base. There are no diagnostics.
