Unit 21525

Category: Layer    dug in 2014

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: infill of burial F.7606 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial

Discussion: Unit 21525 is the infill of cut u.21380 and burial F.7606. Infill u.21525 was later truncated by burial F.7120 and thus only remains at the edge and bottom of cut u.21320. It contains skeleton 21526 but also the loose and semi-articulated remains of a juvenile (ca. 7/8 years old). This juvenile seems to have been placed underneath the bottom part of the adult and next to him in the most eastern part of cut u.21380. But these remains match with other remains of a juvenile found in the later burial F.7120 which is truncating burial F.7606. This is very probably only one individual, but its exact stratigraphical position is still to be determined.
