very many thanks Oriol. Great to see work on the 'waste pieces'. As the paper demonstrates- lots of potential information about what people were doing and the choices they made.

We have similar issues with animal bone remains: there are some questions (eg husbandry practices) you can only address through looking at diagnostic fragments with evidence for species, element, age at death etc, but so much more that you can find out about people's past lives by looking at the undiagnostic bits and pieces. Things like butchery patterns, methods of discard, what was and what was not used as fuel etc

very many thanks for sharing the link!

best wishes

Sue
