Discussion: Cut for burial 207 (skeleton 2141). This is inserted into extreme eastern edge of the group of burials under/in platform F. 13. This burial is truncated to north-west by burial 47, and to south by burial 202. However, this cut itself truncates grave fill 2175, and skeleton 2141 lay on the flat bottom of this cut which itself was only millimetres above the long bones 2506 in burial 204.

(2nd sheet added around 17.9)

Originally I thought this cut may have just truncated fill 2175. However, the reinterpretation of this lower end of the burial sequence under platform F13 now makes this unlikely, and it seems probable that the reason I could no define a western edge to this cut was because it was actually truncated by 2176.
This does not explain how 2141's bones could be physically on top of 2506 from the supposedly later burial 204 however. I'm afraid I have loused up any chance of ascertaining exactly where burial 207 fitted in the sequence, other than it was definitely truncated by burial 202.
