Unit 10314

Category: skeleton    dug in 2005

Area: North 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: Adult male post neolithic burial. Orientation more towards NE-SW. Bones are very fragile and disturbed in part because of its location near the top of the mound. Spine is very twisted, possible scoliosis. Thoracic spine rotated, curves convex to the right. Seems to be cutting into the burned fill of the neolithic. Cut not well defined but wood remains of the coffin help to mark the boundary. Wood at foot of coffin and along south easter corner, nails also present.

Note: Planned at wrong scale. Rescaled using dimensions on this sheet and the outline of the cut. CAH 04/07/09
