Small, shallow grave containing the skeleton of a neo-natal baby in foetal position with head to the west. Feature had been cut into the top fill of an earlier burial, F460 and the two may be related.
Fill of the grave was a mixed backfill, very similar to the fill of F460 and the surrounding general infill of space 170, making the edge of the grave cut difficult to spot. Was not in any way truncated and was sealed by floor make-up for space 163, ( 4253 ).
One of at least three burials cut into the infill of space 170 but deposited before the initial floor make-up layers for sp. 163 had been made. Cut into F460 and possibly related to it. However, as this had been cut into another burial, an alternative possibility is that the infilled space may have been left open for some time prior to rebuilding and used as a samll cemetery area with the number of burials in a small space leading to earlier ones being cut into by later ones. |
