Discussion: Part of a multiple burial. The position of the body suggest that it was wrapped by some kind of fabric. There was a big portion of phytolith on the skull and some seen around the body. In order to keep the arms in that position and put the body almost vertical on its side seems only possible this way. Left leg is mising. It might have been disturbed by later burial which is not exposed yet. The right leg was directly on top of an adult skull.
