Finds Room Information:
All material from site passes through the finds room for washing and separating before it is passed onto the various lab teams. The finds room keeps a basic inventory of what is found. A finds material type list is given here. Further analytical detail maybe provided by the Lab Team data below.
X Finds Material: nothing recorded

Unit description: Most of this material is from flotation only, except for two pieces of long bone from the dry sort. It is a very small unit from above the floor in sp 155 (Adnan's). This is 'upper fill above floor', (for comparison with 3801 which is lower) and is represented by >4mm flot sample number 2. It is a smallish unit, and bone is in fair condition, with a few at heavier weathering stages, but most at stages 2-3; some burnt at low temperatures. There are a couple of digested bones. Mainly is sheep size, with long bones, verts, and undiagnostics. No diagnostics. There are also 5 very fresh looking small mammal bones, which could come from 1 individual, and might be from burrow?? The main contrast with 3801 is that this is less weathered overall. D1 is a worked rib (spatula? needle?) For dry sieve material: Mostly sheep-size, but several chunks of large mammal. About 20% of the material is burnt (by bulk, not # of elements) and one small piece is probably digested. Weathering is variable, and some of the pieces appear battered and worn. Rather fragmented, but several pieces in the 1-4 cm range. No coherence, mixed origins. Looks like fill.
