Discussion

This was the initial cleaning spit over the machine excavated trench in the northern part of Area 11AB. Finds include those from the cleaning of the sections. Along with the usual range of pottery, 6 worked flints and a fragment of polished stone axe were recovered. Also of note were the 4 dog bones recovered. These were almost certainly derived from a dog burial which was located just on the south-western edge of the trench.
