The goat horn from pit 46 was almost complete, with a length of 130 mm, 34.2x25.7 mm basal diameter, and 28.7x18.2 mm diameter around the middle part.

Equus caballus (horse)

Although pretty high in number, horse bones were not very spread on the site. 32 of the 75 identified pieces were teeth. Other bones were nearly evenly spread on the site, not much anatomically related bones were present. Exception is one partial leg (right metatarsus to phalanges, Cx50), and one partial horse skull, broken into small pieces (Cxl53). Only teeth remained intact (sizes found in table below):
