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.

Another Mesolithic gravel bed deposit uncovered at Stainton
1 - The red outline shows the newly excavated gravel bed at stainton , again the bed is about 300mm deep very compact and very level .
4 - As shown in many previous posts the widespread Stainton gravel beds are far from erratic deposits , and cover every area of south west Cleveland I have excavated .
5 - The yellow outlines show the ever present grey - blue organic deposit that sits above the gravel beds at all locations .

Excavated Prehistoric flint from ancient lake deposit Stainsby beck Cleveland.
1 I could be wrong but I believe this flint that was excavated from the same grey deposit as the bones and leather reported in earlier posts , was very likely used as a fire starting implement .

The Stainsby collection to date .
The image above shows the fossil bone and artefacts excavated to date from the prehistoric grey deposits at stainsby beck, in the south west of Cleveland North East England . The Human tibia shaft is not shown as its not in my possession any more , as it was handed over to the Anthropologist, as were the other Human bone finds from this area .
Human and animal fossil bones found so far at ... - history of a beck
The bone and artefacts excavated to date include bones from at least one Human , and seven different animals including , Capra , Equus , Bovine , Canis , Cervid , Pottery ime told that looks to be iron age , Preserved leather shoe sole , with intricate stich holes and possible bone decoration , and possibly worked black flint . All can be viewed in earlier posts .
I must stress that the mineralised bones found and excavated in this and other areas , including several Human pieces are ancient ! and have been deemed so by a forensic anthropologist from Teesside university .
