Feature 1007 is the burial cut, burial infill, and skeleton for a single individual, sk 8490. Skeleton 8#494 is included within the feature although it appears to have been disturbed by the interment of #8490 and its burial act remains unknown. Feature 1007 extended to the east by the placement of skeleton #8490 which is oriented E-W (head to east).
Feature 1007 was discovered from a burial cut in floor 2. This cut was distinct as brown fill within the white plaster floor. No burial lid was evident. The western edge of the cut was clear while the eastern portion was disturbed by the cut made for F. 1005. The skeletons #8490 and #8494 (+8503, skull = 8494) were found within this cut and therefore the eastern edge can be inferred from the #8490 skeleton which is oriented in an east-west direction (head to the east). The skeleton from F. 1005 (sk 8423) was buried after #8490 and #8494 and disturbed the cranium for #8490 which was displaced eastward and at a higher elevation. Within F. 1007, it appears the cut was made for the burial of sk #8490, a juvenile aged ~10-13 yrs. Sk #8494 (infant 4-6 months) was disturbed for this burial of 8490. |
