Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial; Material: wood; Deposition: primary deposition; Basal Spit: nails

 

Description: FT 

 

Discussion: It's the coffin of skeleton 10230.
Just as in the case of the grave, feature 1551, we cannot say for sure if we are dealing with a coffin or with timberlining of the grave cut.
Could be a coffin in this case, because there was a cover to it.
Could be sidelinings plus cover, because the wood planks were found immediately against the cut- coffin must be difficult to squeeze in.
