Unit 13132

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: neolithic skeleton in multiple burial pit 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: Tightly flexed burial in a multiple burial complex. SK13132 was one of three articulated skeletons found in the middle layer of the burial pit. The interment of these three individuals disturbed the remains of two other individuals (13124 and 13125) who had previously been interred in the northern part of the platform. The burial of SK13132, 12935, and 13124 was the last burial event in this part of the platform. The burial cut for 13132 (and 13126 and 12935) expanded the two previous cuts from earlier times ino one large cut. 

X and Y of Targets: Target A - X: 0; Target A - Y: 0; Target B - X: 0; Target B - Y: 0; Target C - X: 0; Target C - Y: 0; Target D - X: 0; Target D - Y: 0 

Body: tightly flexed (crouched) on right side 

Head: head on right side, oriented with apex to west 

Right Arm: bent tightly at elbow with hand at the chin
