Unit 16442

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2008

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: late burial skeleton 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: Post-Neolitjic adult skeleton whose remains were highly disturbed by its proximity to the surface, root action, and extensive animal activity. The bones are in extremely poor condisiton. Several bones are crushed and some elements are missing. Coffin nails were noted in the Western part of the grave near the head. The grave cut was clear. The grave fill consisted of burnt materials and soils, presumably from the burnt neolithic areas nearby. Several grave goods were found at the feet of the skeleton.
