Unit 16411

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2008

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: neolithic burial 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: Neolithic adult female skeleton buried on her left side in a crouched (flexed) position. No grave cut was found due to the fact that the burial was so close to the surface and likely to have originated from the house above building 77. The condition of the bones was poor to fair due to its proximity to the surface. The skeleton was nearly complete.
