Unit 2842
Category: skeleton dug in 1998
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: skeleton
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: 0.65 m NW- SE x 0.45
Discussion: Upon excavation of skeleton 2886, elements of the child skeleton 2842 that had not previously been revealed were found scattered over the torso and ribs of the adult 2886 (rib fragments vertebral bodies, left scapula). This suggests that the child 2842 was buried before the adult 2886 because elements from a single side of the child's body were disturbed, this side being nearest to the cut of the adult skeleton. The adult burial was completely undisturbed and is full articulated.
