Unit 20430
Category: Skeleton dug in 2012
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: skeleton
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: 0.60 m x 30.5 m x
Discussion: A sub-adult left radius, with proximal epiphysis present, distal end unfised but distal epiphysis absent. Another right distal half of a younger individual (child) occurs beneath, and a right tibia, proximal and unfused also occurs below the pelvis. The burial is strongly flexed at hip and knee, bilatally and one arm is flexed at the elbow (right) and left is extened. The shoulders are elevated and constrained by the position of the torso. The cranium is missing, as is the mandible, but the corpus of the hyoid and thyroid cartilage (ossified) is present, attaching to the presence of these structures - or at least the mandible in the past.
X and Y of Targets: Target A - X: 1046.05; Target A - Y: 1187.66; Target B - X: 1046.03; Target B - Y: 1186.91; Target C - X: 1046.58; Target C - Y: 1186.97; Target D - X: 1046.6; Target D - Y: 1187.7
Body: Flexed. A strongly flexed individual lying with the torso supine.
Head: displaced cranium no 2?
Right Arm: Flexed. The upper right limb uppermost along the south south edge of the pit.
Left Arm: Extended elbow. The left upper limb is flexed and lies beneath the strongly flexed lower limb lying beneath.
Right Leg: flexed at knee, the right foot is present and articulated with the lower limb
Left Leg: flexed at knee, the left foot is present and articulated with the lower limb
Other comments: The corpus sterni and lowermost lumbar vertebra are visible beneath the right forearm. The dorsal surface of the corpus sterni is uppermost. The left pubis is in anatomical position and the right ilium is also visible and in correct anatomical position. There is a patella out of alignment and not matches another from another part of the pit in association.
Surface Modifications: some plaster fragments throughout
