Data Category Information: Description: burial

 

Description: FAST TRACK 

 

Discussion: This burial cut corresponds with feature 1750, which includes the cut, wooden coffin lining (unit 11002), skeleton (unit 11004), and burial fill (unit 11001). This cut lies in space 232, the "street" between noted neolithic brick walls. The cut is ellongated ovoid, primarily rectilinear, and has an orientation of approximately 10 degrees counter-clockwise of East-West, perhaps corresponding with the season of the burial.

FAST TRACK

EXCAVATED 13/07/04 

 

Recognition: This cut was identified by the immediate upper layer of wooden coffin lining, as well as a difference between fill sediments and surrounding sediments 

Definition: Cut is defined by edges of fill; I.e. where fill has been completely removed, and exposed surrounding sediment is visible 

Execution: Trowel and brush were used to remove remaining fill and wooden coffin lining (11002) 

Condition: Somewhat damp, due to rainshowers of 16/7/04 

Shape: Elongated ovoid with linear N and S sides 

Sides: Vertical (with slumping at base) 

Base Break: Gradual to sharp 

Base: Fairly flat, and elongated ovoid with linear N and S sides 

Orientation: About 10 degrees counter-clockwise of an East-West orientation
