Environment
Lithology: peat
Taphonomic context: human accumulation,lake deposit,settlement
Archaeology: bone tools,stone tools
Habitat comments: from a "peat layer" interpreted as "a settlement site" with "lithic production, bone tool manufacture, and subsistence activities" and the assemblage represents "a large refuse area in the lake"
it is not clear what kind of structures were present in the "dwelling area" shown in Fig. 2

Life forms: carnivores,ungulates,birds
Sampling methods: quarry
Sample size: 88 specimens
Years: 1900
Sampling comments: a reanalysis of a historic collection
there was apparently a "lack of sieving" based on the size of the recovered fragments
a single Emys orbicularis specimen is presumed to be from the "unidentified" assemblage (see)
