Above floor 10243.

Round circular pit, truncated by grave cut 10226 with clay box on the bottom, containing dog bones.

Circular cut 10257 with square clay box 10251 containing in tis fill 10250 some dog bones. The cut was backfilled with 10247.

Stratigraphicallt I would place it under the floors 10243 (it physically covers the cut and its fill) but with the reserve that the floors were disturbed by later i/ subsequent nterference, so not in situ. Therefore the cut would have come from higher in the sequence.

June 2010 - redesignated from Sp.237 to Sp.1002 because Floors (10243) were very close to the surface, eroded and not floor like, rather like spread of powdery white plaster erosion, therefore considered very dubious + take in account DGB comments above. F.1556 therefore allocated to post chalco. On basis that if in future other dog burials in plaster 'box' type feature found to be clearly Neolithic, this can be revisited (only other siminlar feature found cutting B.54 was likewise at erosion surface - SF in discussion with MWH))
