Discussion: A cluster of bones with articulated dog skull and other dog bones including other species mostly sheep/goat set within a soil matrix. Forms a roughly oval area the centre having slumped into the layer below this not thought to be a cut. The bone is also scattered less thickly beyond the limits drawn on the plan and is found throughout the layer above. Interpreted as a collection of bones, and possibly other organic material thrown together perhaps from cooking and then discarded, the specialists also noted the lack of the presence of marrow rich bones. Cluster lies between the interface of 1073 and 1091.
