Unit 23751

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2017

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: primary disturbed 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: This is a young adult individual (20- 35?), fully articulated, lying in flexed position, on the left side, oriented W-E. Individual was buried under the platform in B. 122, Sp. 562, F. 3889, where the geometrical white painting on the nortern as well as eastern wall occurred. All body is lying on the slope, skull of this individual is disturbed by animal borrowing. This individual (sk. 23751) is recognized as a female, because of pelvic morphology, pelvic is ventral and is present, right pubic notch is triangle shaped.

In the same burial fill another individual was exposed (U. 23754). His cranium was smashed probably due to disturbance by the animals or sk. 23751. The rest of the body seem to be in articulation and occurring from the N- E edge of the burial cut. Mandible and part of vertebral column as well as lower limb, which was recognized in the northern and eastern edge of the burial cut may belong to individual (sk. 23754). In addition there is an evidence for burying those individuals (sk. 23751, sk. 23754) in one event based on the same fill consistency and texture. Moreover it may be posible that sk. 23751 disturbed this sk. 23754, which were buried earlier in the same cut (U. 23720).
Fill U. 23728 included also loose bones belonged to young individual, these bones were defined in the E edge of the cut U. 23720.
