X4177 is derived from a midden, feature AHG, and layer 2462. The sample was moldy and smelled once opened. It is most likely not possible to determine from the dung what kind of animal it came from. The uncarbonised material in the sample was sparse but two species were identified; Potentilla/fragaria sp.,(potentil/jordbær) and Chenopodium album (hvidmelet gåsefod). The sample furthermore contained a relatively high amount of bouquets of moss and a lot of separate stems of moss. A single fragment of bone was found. The sample as whole was composed of compressed organic material with straws and the above mentioned species. Because of the feature composition and the organic contents the sample is recommended for further analysis.
