Unit description: A small unit consisting entirely of a >4mm flotation sample (sample #2), 100% sorted and recorded completely. There is no dry sieve material. This unit is overwhelmingly sheep/goat dominated. The scrap is mostly sheep-size. There is a little bit of large mammal, some microfauna, and one fish bone. There is not a lot of ID'd bone, but what there is seems to have a range of body parts. The unit is rather fragmented for the most part, with mostly tiny fragments but some larger pieces. Most of the bone seems fairly weathered. There is a lot of burning in this unit. At least 50% of the bone seems to be burnt, mostly low temperature. There is a little bit of digestion, and even less gnawing. Probably from a fill. Last number=F61.Figurine Records: No GroundStone Records: No Heavy Residue Records: No Microfaunal Records: No
