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.

Unit description: Small to medium unit (large for a floor unit, however) with mixed fragment sizes from both large and small animals: pieces are somewhat worn and trampled, with bones from large animals broken into solid chunks (couldn't be broken any smaller unless shattered). Most surfaces covered with black dusty deposit. Fragments of a horn core. No integrity. Very little burning, less than 10%, and all at low temperatures. Burning is generally confined to the smaller pieces. Most body parts represented: but very little cranial, (only one piece) and no phalanges. Resembles neighbouring unit 3562. Processed bones, trampled before final deposition. NR 2003: Another segment of the same flotation sample (sample 1) was found. The previous description holds. This looks like fill; from the sound of it, so does 3562. Last Number = 101Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
