This burial did not have a visible cut. There obviously were many disturbances in this burial, where half the skeleton was missing and the fill contained mixed material from earlier periods (animal bones, pottery, obsidian). The burial does sit directly on top of wall F.5058, and cuts into this. There appeared to be no constructed burial containment, the people who buried this individual probably only dug a pit deep enough until they hit the compact mudbrick wall of the earlier period.
F.3331 pit disturbance was discovered after this burial was removed, where the pit dates later than the burial. The pit cuts the burial where the lower limbs should be - this explains why most of the lower body is missing. When F.3331 is fully excavated, the missing skeletal remains may be in this pit fill.This also explains why a cut for the original burial may not have been fully visible. |
