Discussion: This neolithic burial rests against the south wall of building 45, apparently cut into a small platform or bench. The individual is a tightly flexed neonate, with upper torso oriented west-east (bent just above hip) and lower legs extended (left leg flexed) parallel to upper body facing east west. The right upper arm is underneath the upper torso, bent near mandible, with lower arm+hand at forehead. Preservation is very good, and most parts are present + in articulation
