Finds Room Information:
All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.

Unit description: A small unit deriving entirely from the flot sample no 1 (>4mm, 100% sorted and recorded). The bone is mostly scrap, with sheep-sized (long bone frags, ribs, verts, teeth), cattle sized (long bone frags) and some smaller 02 sized (long bone frags). Diagnostics are a possible cattle distal metapodial, 2 medium carnivore (?) tarsals (*to be checked), 2 fragments of sheep/goat phalanges, and a sheep-sized sesamoid. A few elements of microfauna were removed. The condition of the bone is relatively good: fresh surfaces, not weathered, about 10% is burnt black/brown (low temps) and a single bone is calcined. Most fragments are small (c. 1 cm) although some ar a little larger (up to 3 cm). Also, some fragments have been digested. In short, material seems to have mixed derivations (from dog faeces, burning, or neither), and the small fragment sizes may indicate broken up bones, but not rolled/abraded/reworked. This doesn't look like floor material - it hasn't been trampled or exposed for anylength of time - but rather seems to have had fairly rapid deposition.
