Discussion: Very shallow 'scoop'-like cut whose sides / edges were very hard to discern - the only clear line was near the feet (to the south) - up the spine and back of the skull was a thin line (white salts?) suggestive of interface and perhaps this cut is merely soil disturbance and staining around the body which was placed in the layer as it was being laid down.

Certainly although this cut was visible at a certain point in the deposit (2523), it was not visible from the surface of this deposit, lending support to the notion that this cut maybe soil disturbance around the body as it was placed during the deposition of (2523)
