2455is a grave surrounded by a mudbrick structure. It consists of 6 units. The grave is oriented from E to W, with a small stone slab marking the E end of the feature. While the feature itself is well defined, the fallen mudbricks over the skeleton create unclear boundaries between the skeleton 13849 and 13848. The skeleton was in good condition, but dried out quickly and fragmented on removal. The cut of the grave was unclear and so was given an arbitrary definition.
A significant amount of effort seems to have been put into this grave; similar to 2456, with a mudbrick structure lining the grave. The walls seem to be eroded slightly, and it is clear that the mudbrick layer 13848 which could be interpreted as deliberately covering the skeleton is probably a product of part of the surrounding structure which collapsed shortly after burial. There ware no grave goods accompanying the burial; only small sherds of pottery which it is likely accompanied the fill. |
