More bone findes 3 Stainsby beck

 1

All of these mineralised bone pieces where found in the same area of Stainsby beck that the two Human Male Femur where found.

 2 Cervidae or Bos Femur Proximal

 3This piece along with all of the others shown in this post had next to no residue attached, nor staining after recent heavy flooding i believe these pieces have been released very recently, and have spent very little time in the beck itself.

 4 The surface of the bone is in excellent condition, and as with most of the pieces i have found and excavated it has its own glossy shine once dried.
