Unit 7930

Category: Cluster    dug in 2004

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: horn core 

Data Category Information: Location: between walls; Material: bucranium; Deposition: secondary deposition

Dimensions: ca. 20X12cm 

Discussion: Of the three horn cores we have found so far in space 100, this is the one least well preserved. It is embedded in building demolition debris along the south wall of Space 100. On-site consevation did nothing to save it, as it was falling apart, but Rissa did take some measurements before she took it out (as a bag of dust).
