Discussion: The burial fill unit 14021 is associated with 3 burials. The disturbed remains of a juvenile 14020, a juvenile 14054, an adult 14032. The interment of the adult is responsible for the disturbance of the juveniles. The juvenile bones were scattered for 40-50 cm in the burial pit before the adult bones were encountered. The leg and arm bones of the juvenile (14020) were intentionally placed near the leg and arm bones of the adult (14032). The skull of 14020 was found in the burial cut to the west. The juvenile 14054 was partically scattered thorughout the pit (with the cut 14022) and partically articulated in the NW corner of the pit. The adult 14032 took up most of the pit in its flexed position with head pushed up into the NE corner of the pit. The sequence of burial events was: 1st poss. 14050 in NE corner, 2nd 14020 with W-E orientation, 3rd 14032 in larger burial pit.
