Unit 19447 contained the remains of one articulated skull and mandible (19459), one skull, and a cluster of bones containing remnants of a juvenile (19481). The skull of individual sk.19460 was also amongst the remains as 19447 was removed. One obsidian mirror 19447 x3 was found by the NW end of the feature. One obsidian mirror 19447 x4 was found at the SE end of the feature. These mirrors were not readily associated with any one of the skulls or burials.
Upon the removal of skull 19549, skull 19448, skeleton 19481, an articulated late adolescent/young adult was found as the earliest deposit within the grave. This individual was flexed, facing the north.
Sk.19460 seems to have been the first burial within this feature. The remains of sk.19459 (a skull in articulation with the mandible), skull 19448, the cluster of bones sk.19481 show that much disturbance happened after sk.19460 was interred. It is possible that these individuals were buried after sk.19460 , but then disturbed either through the removal of certain bones or the deposit of the two obsidian mirrors. | | | | In situ Conservation: No | | Lifted: No | | | | Number of Related Diary Entries: 2 | | | | Conservation Recorded: No | | Related Photos: 89 (Opens as a group in a new window) | Buildings: (Click to view the record)
