Prehistoric lake bed deposits and excavated bone & pot including an Auroch scapular

  1 -  This image shows the latest prehistoric bones and pottery piece excavated from the grey deposits at Stainsby beck south west Cleveland in the north east of England .
  2 - This image is a close up of what I am sure has to be a scapula piece from an extinct Auroch  ( Bos Premigenius ) . I have been advised the Pottery is late iron age to Roman, but no Roman breeds were this big nor local Longifrons wild or semi domesticated.    
  3 - The pottery piece in this image is the third piece ive excavated and i am told it is probably early iron age , I believe it to be a lot older.
