Unit 6681

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2000

Area: North 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 0.6m x 0.3m 

Discussion: the skeleton may be related to other skeleton [6682], as it seems to share the same burial cut; this however is unlikely since that would mean that the two bodies were buried together.
There are no grave goods but phytoliths remains were seen on the chin (although discontinuous). It is not certain whether the skeleton was bonded with organic fiber or not.
