Discussion: Disarticulated skeleton and skull. The bones within the grave fill consisted of the disturbed remains of at least 3 adults. The bones were carefully arranged with the long bones to the north; the two skulls to the west (19554) and east (19541), the feet to the SE. Skull 19541 was resting on the apex of the head with the maxilla on the top. The mandible was not located. Attribution of the specific post-cranium to the skull was not possible in the field. All of the bones were in poor condition and many had been baked. The teeth of skull 19541 were blackened by the baking which occurred due to the fire in B. 77. The basal boundary of the grave pit was a layer of white plaster.
