Unit 1988

Category: cut    dug in 1997

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: grave cut 

Data Category Information: Description: burial

Dimensions: 85 L x 38 W x 26cm D 

Discussion: Cut truncated to N by crave cut. Traces of bone in the truncated section suggested this might contain remains of another burial. Only scraps of bone have been found, but it still remains likely that this was originally a grave cut from which most bones were removed during later disturbance. Those bone scraps which were recovered seem to belong to a juvenile & were very fragile and fragmentary. 

Execution: trowel, pick, leaf 

Condition: hot, cooler , dry, under cover 

Shape: irregular curvilinear / ovoid, heavily truncated to N 

Sides: nearly vertical S & E, gently sloping in to base at W 

Base Break: rounded but at roughly 90 degree overall 

Base: flattish 

Orientation: probably E-W, can't be sure
