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: Unit is entirely from flotation sample 1. The >4mm heavy residue is 100% sorted and recorded. Amount of bone is very small, and is mostly scrap of mainly sheep-sized, but also some cattle sized long bone shaft fragments. Of sheep-size, there are long bone, rib and vertebra fragments. The only diagnostic is a sheep-sized distal tibia piece. Fragments are mostly 1 cm long, but some are up to 4 cm. Surface condition is generally good, and the material doesn't seem to have been rolled around much, eroded or left exposed, but seems to have been buried fairly quickly. Some has signs of digestion, none of gnawing. About 10% is burnt, mainly low temps but a few high temps. (Fair amount of black staining from phosphate?) In general, the bone seems to have varied post-consumption derivations, and its condition might suggest that it is fill rather than floor material. A microfauna jaw removed. F16 is an indeterminate fragment with cut marks - purpose unknown. Last record =F16.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
