| This feature represents the burial of a juvenile likely aged 2-3 years judging by the undescended adult teeth and the size of the bones. The cut goes through the plaster floor surface (19645) and descends for about 10 cm before cutting in much more deeply to the northeast. The fill, at this point, became noticeably softer and more friable. The skeleton was laid on its right side-- but the skull was on its left side. Paired with the numerous central vertebrae out of place, this suggests the child's head was twisted almost entirely 180 degrees around. At the base of the burial, we began to recover some adult bone, which not only implies the presence of an additional burial beneath f. 3534, but also that the cut [19634] may have truncated the top of athe cut associated with the burial below (which would also make sense with the changing quality of the fill.) |
