Unit 14440

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2008

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: neolithic skeleton 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 0.2M x 0.2M 

Discussion: Neolithic infant ribs were found in the grave pit with SK.14441. The ribs were near the knees of SK.14441 and appear on the same plan (08/129). A green stone axe (X1) was located near the ribs. A small cranial fragment, possibly related to the ribs were also found. It is possible the adult skeleton is related to the infant, such as being buried at the same time. It is also possible that the internmnet of SK.14441 disturbed the infant skeleton who was already buried in the platform. Given the extent of missing infant bones, it seems likely the infant was disturbed by the burial of SK.14441.

14/09/09 Michele Massa: the greenstone axe found in the fill has been x-finded and assigned to three different units (14440, 14441 and 14429). The crate register shows that the actual objects is stored as 14429.x1, so the others have been deleted
