Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: primary 

Data Category Information: none

Description: Primary burial of an adult individual, tightly flexed and lying on its back. Probably male. 

Discussion: Primary burial of an adult individual, tightly flexed and lying on its back. Probably male based on cranial morphology visible during exposure of skeleton. Arms are lying loosely flexed, with the left forearm crossed over the right forearm over the lower abdomen. The ankles rested over the hands/wrists of the opposite arm. Wrists appear to have been extended, with hands resting over the bones of the hips. Chert blade (x1) laying directly over bones of right forearm, over the abdomen. Thin orange brown organic patch (s6) lays under the left forearm but in/over abdomen. Thick, circular patch of brown organic material with a thin orange outline (S7) was found when the bones of the right ankle were removed. This may be continuous with 22676 s7, which is a patch of orange organic material wrapped around a thick layer of brown organic material under and south of the right metatarsal bones. S8 and S9 are small portions of possible cord found associated with both feet.
