13 - This image shows all the pieces excavated today , they include two horse mandible pieces Capra - ovis horn cores - scapula piece - rib piece - metacarpal piece - bovine mandible piece .

14 - I am not sure whether the groves on this metacarpal are a result of Canis
chewing or human use .

15 - Again ime not sure that the marks on this scapula piece were caused by chewing . .

16 - I have now had advice from a well respected professional from the United States , that back my own thoughts up about this piece , i.e. the marks are too long too parallel and too regular too be chew marks . I believe this to be a tool of some sort maybe a winding device . Peter Row of Tees Archaeology has viewed these images and thinks they could possibly be wear marks caused by some type of twine .
