Unit 19728

Category: Cut    dug in 2012

Area: South 

Interpretive Categories: Burial cut 

Data Category Information: Description: burial

Dimensions: 0,65 EW x 0,46 NS x 0,31 m depth 

Discussion: This is a burial cut for skeleton unit 19727. It has not been truncated by other cuts and appears to be the only burial cut on the platform in the NE corner of building 96 (F. 7002). It is ovoid in shape with its long axis going NE to SW. There was very nice/visible horizontal stratigraphy helping us identify the edges of the cut, and above the infill (unit 19724) there was a thick layer of plaster (unit 19723). It is a rather deep cut, and we explored a lot of infill before reaching the child and mat held within.
