Discussion: Well preserved Neolithic infant cut by Roman foundation trench. It is quite amazing that it is preserved so well considering it's position only a few centimeters below the floor. The firm, hard-packed soil is probably an important factor.
This burial (10330) is associated with another infant partially near the Neolithic wall section (10335) and additional infant remains on the base of the burial cut (10336): 3 burials in total within this burial cut.
