Category: layer dug in 1998
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: pit fill
Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: pit; Deposition: heterogeneous
Dimensions: 1.05m W to E, 0.7m N to S, 0.5m thick
Description: See discussion for description
Discussion: The Northern half of pit (3070) was excavated first and two distinct fills (3075) and (3076) were excavated as a single unit as they could not be effectively distinguished.
Recognition: darker and slightly looser than surrounding infilling
Definition: defined by finding pit edges on way down where underlying stratigraphy shows through
Execution: mattock and trowel, northern half dug first
Condition: normal

Unit description: A smallish to medium-sized unit. No human. 2 pieces with high-temperature burning. A worked bone fragment. Even body part distribution, with some large pieces. Some large mammal, then sheep size. Seems like household waste, as nothing goes together. Lack of gnawing or digestion. Weathering generally midrange. Seems to have been buried fairly quickly, although it may have been redeposited. Sample 2 >4mm flotation 100% sorted, recorded completely. Smallish, with roughly equal amounts of large and sheep-size mammal. Also a little fish and one microfauna long bone. Quite fragmented, but a few pieces up to 2-3 cm. Some burning, a little digestion, somewhat weathered. No coherence. Looks like fill. Last number = F65Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
