Neolithic burial with a disturbed skull.
From Archive Report 2005:
The skeleton (11982) of a juvenile was found lying on its back with the legs tightly flexed at hip and knees. The skull of this individual was found first, about 50mm above the rest of the bones and the first indication of disturbance to the burial. As more of the individual was exposed there were other bones identified in dis-articulated positions. No reason for the disturbance was apparent but which might come to light through the analyses of the individual who was 14-16 years in age at the time of death and with very well developed bones in terms of length for an individual of that age.
