Unit 20402

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2012

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: skeleton 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 1,20 x 0,20 x 0,10 m 

Discussion: Laid underneath a firm mudbric. The skeleton belongs to a child, judging from the size and shape of the bones and the height of the individual. Some bones found with this individual clearly don’t belong to the skeleton, so it's possible that different people's bones were in the burial. A lot of nails were attached to different parts of the skeleton (the iron nails marked X1 - X7 in the diagram, see infill units). Some bones were broken and their fragments translocated to other parts.
