Unit 15391
Category: Layer dug in 2011
Area: Trench 5
Data Category Information: none
Discussion: This skeleton was discovered by finding the feet first, which were removed and the rest of the skeleton was excavated. This burial fill contained what appears to be Chalcolithic fill that was disturbed by the origonal burial, the one above it sk. 15346, and the disturbance that was through sk. 15346. The burial 15391 went into the trench's western section, from the lower thorax up to the head, this was not excavated further due to the looseness of the soil here, and that it is supporting the tent shelter.
