Fragments Form

Taxinomically Challenging Fragments Form

This form is a multi-purpose form intended to allow you to record : 

1. Site context information (top rows).
   
2. Longer comments about the bag (context) as a whole. Are there many burned bones? Small fragments? One or more artifacts? Worked bone? Unicorns? 
   
3. Flora - bits of wood charcoal- you can note these as "present".
   
4. Mollusca- count valves and other frags separately.
   
5. Fish- separate gadid from salmonid, vertebra from cranial and spine if possible. If stuck, use "Other fish, Other".
   
6. Other species - indicate what in comments.
   
7. Birds- put a count of bird bones in the "other" column.
