Bone Summary
A significant amount of bone fragments were recovered from the 1998 excavation of Agger 9 Ext. Bones were recovered from every layer of stratigraphy, with the highest concentration from the yellow-brown layer containing carbon. This indicates possibleassociation with the Orientalizing destruction phase of the site.
Most of the bone fragments are small and worn however sever long bones, jaws, and teeth were also recovered. The bones seem to have been from small animals, such as sheep or goats. There was no evidence of worked bone, but several skull fragments were found, including a small fragment ( Find #1, pg. 45 ) with indentations indicative of a skull, and a
deer's skull and antlers ( Find #5, pg. 189 ). The average size of the fragments is 5cm with several large pieces (20-30cm). The bone recoverage is recorded by locus in grams.
