Double infant burial, possibly associated with the foundation of building 65. Paced in S/W corner of building 65 below foundation.
This double burial has later been associated with a group of neonate and infant inhumations in space 333. This group included 7 neonates and one infant. The burials, as a whole, have been interpreted to not have taken place all at once, in relation to their positioning to each other. However, their startigraphical relations to each other are not entirely clear. The following description is from the human remains report, 2007:
F.2631 Sk. (16203) and Sk. (16204)
Sk. (16203) and Sk.(16204) are the complete skeletal remains of two neonates which were buried together. These individuals may be twins as they are identical in terms of skeletal development. Sk. (16203) was placed tightly flexed on its left side facing the body of Sk.(16204) which was flexed and placed on its right side. The heads of both individuals were oriented to the north. Both skeletons were placed in the grave cut
with great care. |
