Skeleton of a neonate. Found by hitting the skull at the end of 15.8.2009 , not initially recognized but identified when fragments of skull were brought in. Another neonate was found last year in the same space (F 5069) , less than 2 m away, also abutting the wall (F. 5051). That baby was in W-E orientation, which is the same as this baby 3300. Both seem to be similar in how they are buried, as they were also both abutting walls or constructions of room, (a butress in the F 3300 burials case).
The neonate was positioned on its stomach with the right side of its body pressed against F. 5051. This is within ithe unit 18328, which is roomfill, and has been suggested thus far to be a rapid deposit event. There was no apparent cur or layer for this burial, but they were assigned arbitrary units for the database. İt is most likely a chalcolithic neonate burial. |
