Unit description: F 101 and 102 subsampled for ZooMS (DCO 2014) Part of the midden sequence in Space 181. It is a medium size unit, moderately weathered with a very small amount of burning. There are a couple of large scapula fragments, but the unit is largely long bone fragments of 03, 05 and 07 size. There are two equid teeth, no cattle teeth and no equid, cattle or pig foot bones. There is very little axial skeleton. There are three bone point fragments and part of a bone bead. Also recorded: Sample 3 - flot No 2961- >4mm - 100% - This flot sample contains a fair amount of micro-fauna and fish (about a dozen of each). The macro-fauna consists largely of sheep/goat size foot bones, as well as 2 teeth. Sample 4, flot no 2967, >4mm, 100% recorded diagnostics only. Last number = 318Figurine Records: Yes
