Unit 16445

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2008

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: late burial 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: Post-Neolithic juvenile skeleton whose grave was cut into space 84. The skeleton was close to the surface and highly eroded. Several elements were broken or missing, Root disturbance and animal activity also contributed to the poor condition of the bones. The grave cut was clear. Several grave goods were found at the foot of the grave. Coffin nails were present intermittently at the sides, top, and bottom of the grave, Extra loose adult bones were found in close proximity to the juvinile. These bones prbably represent the remains of Neolithic burial(s) disturbed by the interment of late individuals.
