Burial group including multiple interment events which should ideally have been separated into individual feature numbers. Group includes two fully articulated inhumations (1922=1939) and (1924), and one semi-articulated/articulated portion of another individual (1925=1975). Most were excavated in 1996, the latter two units in 1997.
Discussion:
Multiple burials grouped under one feature number; from the cut plan and the section plan, different interment events can be identified at least for the three "articulated" skeletons (see sketch plan). Note that the matrix shows the total/final sequence of events which means that the skeletons are not necessarily in the order of original interment but rather their redeposited position. The original order of deposition is probably as follows: all the fully disarticulated bones are the primary interments (though probably also representing different episodes): 1923, 1926, 1975, 2520, 1937; next course 1925/1938, followed by 1924, and finally 1922=1939. If this sequence is correct, it shows the interments moving away from the northwest corner and wall F 3 into the centre of the platform F 13. Burial F 38 thus constitutes a minimum of four burial events, probably more like six/or the total number of individuals represented. The relationships between the three "articulated" skeletons were worked out on the basis of their physical relationships.
