The unit has one lovely bone point but otherwise appears to be typical floor with a moderate amount of medium brown to black fragments ranging from .5 to 2 cm, with a tiny bit of burning. The bone point is made from a sheep-goat metatarsal, nothing else is identifiable to taxon. There is one mouse(?) mandible.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
