Double child burial; with scattered disarticulated human bone (1935). The articulated inhumation (1940/1959) and (1951/1960) were intertwined and both in very unusual positions. The grave cut F 45 to the south and also either cuts or abutted F46 & F26 in their primary phases (see separate feature sheets).

Discussion:
Double burial seems deliberately placed at the base of the wall relief F26; in terms of the stratigraphy, these burials were placed up against the primary phase of F26, a probable plastered post. Two points can be made: - this 'post' possibly represents a kind of threshold or spatial division of space 71 into the east & west halves when paired with F24. Second, the grave cut may even be a cut for the removal of the post of F24 which clearly removed something associated with that feature. Maybe cut (1987) is comparable to this, with burials only inserted into (1987) |
