Multiple inhumation burials - latest (1466) was headless articulated adult, with numerous disturbed / disarticulated bones in fill: (1928), (1364) and (1467). However, these 3 bone groups may belong to cut [1927] (whatever that really is) having been dislodged to make way for (1466). In that case, this feature is not the contents of a single cut.
Discussion:
The problems, as explained over is that skeleton 1466 seems to be in a nice cut by itself. What happened to the skull is unknown, though there are several surplus ones in (1470) contained within cut [1927]. This contains three groups of bones, apparently pushed aside when 1466 was buried. therefore there should be 2 burial numbers in some ways, on the other hand, if these bones were redeposited dring the 1466 burial episode, maybe they do belong to burial 29 even if they were previously buried during separate episodes. The shape of cut [1470] suggests it is in fact 3 different cuts - a N, as SW & a SE cut, all now mixed up. | | | | In situ Conservation: No | | Lifted: No | | | | Feature Relationships: | | cuts: (Click to view the record) 49, 213 | | | | Number of Related Diary Entries: 3 | | | | Conservation Recorded: No | | Related Photos: 5 (Opens as a group in a new window) | Buildings: (Click to view the record)
