| Entry: | During last week our hands were „full of work” as apart of finishing U. 20327 and taken off the southern wall we also reveal two caches with obsidian tools and one child – skeleton burial (F.3548). Obsidian was a real sensation. We have never had so many people visiting our building. Onur even wanted to take 10 lira for each taken photo. We would be rich! Hovewer obsidian's caches were „problem” of Jack and Onur. They had to document it, take every pieces founded an take the samples. Part of work had to be done with special hospital like masks because people from lab wanted to do DNA researches. Our boys looked like professional… doctors.
And skeleton was work of Kristina and mine!
It was my first skeleton and I was feeling like the Christmas is coming. The child was 6-8 year juvenile (information reached thanks to Scoot whose looked at the teeth). The body was tightly flexed on right side. The head was putted on the East and he facing on the West. The left foot was missing. Burial was cut in West by later burial what can be explanation why our child haven't got his one feet.
Now I can say one thing - digging burials is the work for patient people. The child was buried deeper than we thought and the soil was nearly as hard as the stone. What's more the bones were distracting under my and Kristina sticks. So the work was quite difficult and takes much time. But it was worth of it. I regred only one thing: that we couldn't do it without hurting the skeleton. |
