Unit 4917
Category: layer dug in 1999
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: Bin fill,posthole fill
Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: posthole; Deposition: homogeneous; Basal Spit: basal deposit
Dimensions: 0.5 x 0.4 x 0.16
Discussion: Fill of cut 4918-essentially similar mixed fill to 4905 suggesting 4918 was backfilled rapidly after its cut with the material originally excavated.
Recognition: Mixed deposit very similar to 4905 making recognition difficult

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: Sample 2 from this unit consists of small bone chips with about 5-10 %digested and 10-15% burned (mostly low-temperature burning). Most fragments are unidentifiable to even taxon size: there are two large mammal fragments (one is a Bos prox metatarsal incl.facet), and about 30% of the whole can be identified to sheep-sized individuals. There are two microfauna long bones and one fish vertebra. Probably a dirty floor layer or sweepings of consumption debris.
