Rectangular plastered platform joining with the north west walls. There is a burned patch (no contact with the walls) which has left a black mark on the plastered suface. In the center of the platform is a depression that slopes down towards the west wall. The south east edges of the platform are also plastered and clearly defined and appear to go under the surface to the east (F.1664).
Unexcavated in 2004.
From Archive Report 2008:
The North-West platform (F.1651) was used to bury nine individuals, including both children and adults. The majority of these skeletons were disturbed, including six which were headless. It is in this northern area that the majority of the painted decoration was concentrated, and this may be in some way associated with the burial process. All of the burials were tightly flexed and several of the burials included grave goods. As with most of the houses excavated at the site, most of the surfaces inside Building 49 appear to have been kept very clean during its use, and as a result few finds are recovered from stratified occupation deposits.
Please refer to Archive Report 2008, pgs 36-38 for detailed sequence of burials and platform modification. |
