Data Category Information: none

 

Dimensions: 0.84 m long axis; 33 cm max width 

 

Discussion: tightly flexed adult neolithic burial; appears undisturbed by later interments. This burial is probably responsible for the majority of loose bone in the fill layers above it, as it would have dislodged a number of earlier burials when it went into the ground.

- entire left and right tibia is missing without a trace. Either these limbs were removed prior to burial or rodents have completely devored them (which I find hard to believe)
