Environment

Lithology: mudstone

Taphonomic context: human accumulation

Archaeology: stone tools

Habitat comments: most or all of the material is from Unit IIIa, "a dark, richly organic marsh deposit with large numbers of archaeological artefacts, particularly flint and bone" (assumed to be a mudstone)
the assemblage is interpreted as mostly accumulated by hunters

Sampling methods: quarry,screenwash

Sample size: 544 specimens

Years: 2005 - 2008

Sampling comments: "intensive dry- and wet-sieving" was carried out on the excavated sediments
"bird, reptile and amphibian remains are yet to be identified"
