from Human Remains Archive Report, 2008:
F.3089 (16474)
The disturbed remains of a child aged 4-6 years at the time of death were discovered immediately below an adult female (16465). Like the adult skeleton, the juvenile skeleton was in poor condition. Buried on its left side, the body was tightly flexed at the hips and knees. The head was to the west and the feet to the east. The head, mandible, and several other bony elements were missing entirely. Black staining was observed on several bones. The grave cut was visible at the eastern and southern edges of the cut. Animal and root disturbance was extensive in the area of the skeleton. |
