Faunal Records: Yes Count of records:: 84  Unit description: F 82 subsamoled for ZooMS (DCO 2014). A medium-small unit (an arbitrary layer within space 116; same as 1803). Bones are very fragmented, with variable surface conditions. There is a little digestion, and a few burnt bones (black). Cattle is represented by skull, teeth and youngish horn core, and phalanx., also an atlas with dismemberment marks. Equus by metapodial frag and radius/ulna frags (both >10 cm long). 03 size has ribs, verts, and sh/gt radius, and a juvenile mandible. General impression is that nothing comes from same animals and hence unit is likely to be from fairly mixed sources. Sample 2 (flot 760) >4mm, 100%. Contians no diagnostics. Not very battered or trampled, but a bit mixed. Consistent with dry seive description.
