Heavily damaged late burial with well-preserved wooden coffin.
The grave cut [15421] was cut into midden (15400). The cut was not noted until the coffin (15420) was exposed. The wooden coffin was incredibly well-preserved. There was one nail found in the northern wall of the coffin. The fill of the grave (15412) was full of redeposited finds as that it was from midden. The skeleton was articulated with what little remained, but it looks as though it was heavily disturbed and the bones were quite worn to begin with. The skeleton (15607) is likely an older person as the teeth are heavily worn, though due to the lack of certuan key bones, the sex is undetermined. The basal boundary of the cut is flat. There were no grave goods and the face of the skeleton is turned south, while the grave is oriented east-west. |
