Dear Yasha,
I haven't used a separate recording sheet in the field, but gave each articulated group a unique identification number, photographed it in situ and bagged the bones together. Then in post-ex the unique identifier was used to associate the multiple specimens for analysis. A VERY long time ago I published a small paper setting out the results:
Barrett, J H, 1997 'Fish trade in Norse Orkney and Caithness: a zooarchaeological approach', Antiquity 71, 616-638
(N.B. the chronology of the resulting patterns has been updated in later work)
It can be downloaded from my ResearchGate page if interested.
Best wishes,
James
