Unit 15199

Category: Cluster    dug in 2010

Area: Trench 5 

Interpretive Categories: bone cluster 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: N-S 1,5m ; E-W 0,87m ; 0,172m depth 

Discussion: This human bone cluster was created due to the extreme disturbance and scatter of the individual`s bones in the pit F 3331. At one time this individual was most likely in a proper late chistian style burial, but it is now highly fragmented and scattered in the northern and eastern sections of F. 3331 pi in layers 15195 and some in 15179 above. The remains are consistent with MNI 1 , and the skull from bone cluster 15192 most likely is from the same indiviadual. No bones were in anatomical position or articulated. The individual appears to be a middle aged male, based on the pelvis.
