Dimensions: 25 CM N-S, 30 CM E-W
Discussion: UNIT CONSISTS OF BURIAL LID + BURIAL INFILL IN THE WESTERN PORTION OF THE SPACE 87 AT THE EDGE OF THE BURIAL CUTS MADE BY F. 1002, F. 1005 AND F. 1007 BURIAL IT. THE INFILL WAS SIMILAR TO THE BURIAL FILL OF THE OTHER SKELETONS FOUND THUS FAR. AN INFANT SKELETON WAS FOUND WITHIN THE AREA OF THE BURIAL CUT THAT WAS EVIDENT IN THE FLOOR, ALTHOUGH SOME OF THE INFANT BONES WERE FOUND SCATTERED TO THE SOUTH OUTSIDE OF THE BURIAL CUT. IT IS LIKELY THAT THE BURIAL CUT WAS LAYER AT AN EARLY TIME BUT WAS DISTURBED BY THE CUT OF F. 007. THE MAJORITY OF THE SKELETONS WAS WITHIN THE BURIAL CUT HOWEVER, ESPECIALLY THOSE BONES WHICH APPEARED #### ARTICULATED
