Unit 30043

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2016

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: primary disturbed,secondary 

Description: Southernmost skull along western edge of cut.Top of skull is pointing south and slightly upward. Anterior of cranium is pointing westward, toward the outside of the burial. 

Discussion: Skull does not appear to be articulated with other bones, but loose long bones from this southern area of the feature are likely to be associated, as well as pelvic bones placed in the SE corner opposite to the skull.

Bone may have been relatively fresh and/ or may have still contained brain tissue in cranial cavity at time of deposition and/or burning episode, preventing the skull from being crushed when the burial was filled. When skull was removed, a substantial amount of carbonized brain tissue was found (S1).
