Unit 8114
Category: skeleton dug in 2001
Area: North
Interpretive Categories: skeleton
Data Category Information: none
Discussion: Skeleton 8114 belongs to a juvenile which was buried before 8115. Sk. 8114 was disturbed at its lower limbs probably during the burial of sk. 8115. The left femur, left fibula, left and right feet were intact but the other lowere limb bones had been moved. Sk. 8113 did not appear to be disturbed by 8114 but rather the burial of 8115. This is because there were not any scattered bones under 8114. The head of Sk. 8115 was found in close proximity to 8114 but only the lowere limbs of sk 8114 were distubed; the arms and the hands were stil articulated. Therefore, the sequence of these burials may be Sk. 8113, then 8114 and 8115 last OR sk 8114 earliest, then 8113, then 8115 last.

Body: semi-articulated juvenile skeleton lying in S-N direction on its right.
Head: the head is facing down but the face is oriented east
Right Arm: bent at the elbow towards the head
Left Arm: bent at the elbow . Hand is near the head, bent down.

Left Leg: bent at the hips and knee. Tibia disturbed
Other comments: the left foot wasina position that indicates both legs were bent at the hips toward the head and at the knee down
Surface Modifications: post-depositional pressure of soil, cracking, distortion of bones. Root and animal disturbance. Therefore, the bones are in very bad condition. Also, there was human disturbance in Neolithic times in oder to reopen the pit.
