Unit description: Flot sample 2846 - completely analyzed The fill from F.523, an oven from the south side of space 173. There is a very small amount of material none of which is identifiable to element. The colour is generally fawn brown, with a relatively high percentage of burnt material including some calcinated bone. However, the majority of the bone is not burnt and is not charcoal stained - it is more similar to fill than to 'ashy rakeout'.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
