ConclusionsConclusions
Fewer shells and bones recovered Fewer shells and bones recovered this year compared to last season – this year compared to last season – fewer test pits?fewer test pits?
Most bones discovered in D1 Most bones discovered in D1 (especially SU4) and D2, together (especially SU4) and D2, together with many shells – possible sites for with many shells – possible sites for church picnicschurch picnics
