Unit 20208
Category: Skeleton dug in 2012
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: Neolithic adult female
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: 1.05 x 0.73 x 0.26 m
Discussion: This is a disturbed primary burial of an adult female (based on greater sciatic notch). This individual was buried in f. 3931 prior to sk. 20166 and sk. 20162. The individual was still fleshy when they were removed to make room for sk. 20166. Once 20166 was placed in f. 3931, sk. 20208 and sk. 20217 (juvenile) were redeposited back into the burial. Sk. 20208 was disarticulated at the hips, ankles, shoulders, wrists, and majority of thorax was scattered throughout grave fill 20161. Major elements like the legs, skull, pelvises, and right arm were pushed to the edges of the grave cut 20258. Left arm was articulated (except at wrist) on top of sk. 20166 over the thorax. Many of the other elements that were pushed to the edges were at least slightly or moderately on top of sk. 20166. It is unclear if sk. 20208 and 20217 share a common burial event (timing) or more likely sk. 20217 was buried before sk. 20208 since 20217 was highly scattered and disarticulated.

Body: Head in west, body disarticulated at most locations, and elements pushed to edge of cut
Head: Face to North, top of skull upwards
Right Arm: Right arm pushed to SW corner. Hand metacarpals/carpals disturbed, phalanges articulated with palmar surface up. Right arm diarticulated from humerus, but still has carpals articulated
Left Arm: Left arm was mostly articulated and pulled/placed over top of sk. 20166, where it was flexed at 90 degrees at elbow and hand would have been at junction of sk. 20166's skull (posterior)
Right Leg: tightly flexed, out of hip socket, articulated with tibia/fibula, in SE corner.
Left Leg: left leg tightly flexed, out of hip socket, in southern edge above sk. 20166.
