Late Burial, tenetively Roman or early christian/pre-christian burial - grave goods.
The grave fill (15605) was fairly shallow as that the grave cut [15436] was not very deep. There was only a tiny bit of coffin and two nails (15652) still left, though the walls of the cut have imprints of wood. The grave fill (15605) had mostly neolithic finds (secondary deposition) as that the fill is from the part they dug for the grave. The skeleton is also interesting. Although it's head is facing south it is not islamic because of the grave goods (a smal clay pot ans glass vial) at the feet of the skeleton (15608). The skeleton appears to be of an old man. The skeleton is quite eroded and there are no teeth at all. The ribs were splayed open (almost as if his chest exploded), but the rest of the skeleton was articulated. |
