Interpretive Categories: Burial fill 

 

Data Category Information: Location: cut; Description: burial; Deposition: homogeneous

 

Discussion: This unit was recognized in 2012 from shape and orientation. It was interpreted as a burial. The burial clearly truncated the surrounding features, making it a clear late burial (islamic). The infill was excavated using trowel and brush, as well as osteological tools. A separate human mandible was found in the fill approximatley above the feet of the skeleton. This can be remnants from burails above. Because of the placement of the burial, undercutting the trench edge, all data from the fill could not be obained.
