Unit 13124

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: multiple neolithic burial 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: The skull and mandible of a single individual was found in the context of multiple burial pit. The postcranial bones of this individual appear to be deliberately placed into a burial pit by element. Matching the postcranial elements to the head will take place in the laboratory to confim this. All of the crania in the pit were placed in the western part of the pit. This individual seems to be one of two individuals (13124 and 13125) who were disturbed for the burial (interment) of SK13132, 12935, and 13126. The disturbed elements were found above SK13132 and 12935, but not 13126. Individuals 13124 and 13125 represent the people interred during the second burial event in the platform, mostly in the northern part of the pit.
