Faunal Records: Yes Count of records:: 81  Unit description: Small unit, with mostly large mammal bone in fairly large pieces, plus some sheep-size. Quite a bit of burning, to varying degrees, some of it highly calcined. Rather weathered. Very little cranial. Sample 2 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. More sheep-size than large mammal, but still more large mammal than usual in this area. Relatively large pieces. Most is burnt, at a range of temperatures. Cranial bone reasonably well-represented here; only thing largely lacking in body part distribution is feet. Virtually no diagnostics. Somewhat weathered, no coherence. Looks like (burnt) fill. Last number = 81
