This is a burial of infans I below three months. The skeleton was largely destroyed, in particular its postcranial part. Due to the destruction the exact position of the body was difficult to distinguish. It appears that it was in a crounched position on the left side with face looking outwards. The body was probably buried in a basket. The burial cut was difficult to observe. Interestingly, a cattle pelvis was placed directly underneath the child skull. It is almost certain that it was a deliberate decision to put this bone fragment in this particular place. This feature is placed ca 17 cm directly below feature 997, which was probably a containing a large number of cattle bones and two horns of wild sheep. |
