Discussion: This is the crouched burial of an adult male (potentially quite aged). He had lost several of his teeth during his lifetime and others were quite ground ------a couple left also due to later disturbance of cranium. Although lying on front also slightly lying on left ----. The left arm was completely ----back--- an itself with fingers up facing west and placed more or less under skull in splayed manner. The right arm had the lower part of arm folded at elbow and going under body (under ribs and with fingers extended under the left arm).
A separate top part of skull 5480 was found in 5466, does this relate to the same person?
Also to be answered= who does the other skull belong to?
