Faunal Records: Yes Count of records:: 151  Unit description: Medium size and quite fragmented unit. Preservation is generally not very good. There are mostly sheep-size but also some cattle and pig size elements. Body part distribution is pretty even with a little lower numbers of toes. Degree of burning is not too high (% 10-15) and burned bones indicate a low temperature. The overall distribution is not so coherent. it shows a mixed, post-consumption discard. Sample 1 (4mm) sorted out %100 and only the diagnostic ones were recorded. Rest of the unit is composed of bigger pieces. A couple of pieces were identified as Pisces. Last number is 153.
