| Description: Horn cores attached to skull that was covered by the south pedestal in the NE corner of Sp. 336. Grouped as a cluster, this is a single skull with covered horn cores. |
| |
Discussion: 2008: Dimensions calculated using CAD (22/07/09) -ms. West Horn exposed in NE corner platform southern pedestal. Two pairs of horn cores. Broken into two separate unit numbers one for each pair of horn cores in each pedestal. This unit number refers to the W pedestal.
2010: Horn cores and skull cap on southern pedastal from what would appear to be a mature aurochs. It is cut from the neck to just above the eye sockets and is resting on an earlier platform surface-prior to elaboration.
Two numbers were associated in post ex 2010 when both horns were thought to be separate entities. |
