Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: bone cluster 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: N-S 0,21m ; E-W 0,25m ; 0,1m thick 

Discussion: The human fragmented skull that was assigned to this bone cluster was found in the north west corner of F.3331 pit near 15189 a neonate skull ( also partial and fragmented), with layers of 15179 and 15195. The soil around the skull was assigned a fill 15193 because it was a suspected burial at first. Red ochre pigment was found both directly on the skull (base)and with 5 cm away from skull. After careful excavation, it was determined that this feature pit had the individual´s bones highly fragmented and scattered mainly in the north and east sections of the pit. 15192 most likely belongs with 15199 bone cluster.
