Discussion: Byzantine burial in very poor condition which truncates the internal wall between spaces 228 and 238 in building 45. This also truncates a slightly earlier byzantine grave (F.1422). No grave goods were found with this skeleton. The initial obervations taken on the skeleton indicate that it was an adult and probably male.
