Unit description: This unit is a fill from a little pit -ike feature (F 624) on floor/platform edge in Bach. It is a small unit and bone only from flot (sample 1). All recorded. The bone is mainly from 07 size. There is nothing diagnostic, but mostly long bone shaft fragments, and a very few rib frags. There is a bit of bone that can't even be given a size category. I suppose it's possible that all the 07 long bone frags could have come from a single bone - the surfaces are fresh, not battered or reworked, and edges fairly sharp. It doesn't look like fill that has rolled in, or like a range of middeny material put in to fill the feature. Whatever the derivation, the pieces are tiny (mainly 1 or 2 cm) and the bone has been really smashed up. About a third of it is charred black.
