This feature was a burial in space 1002 where a skeleton (U. 19502) was found. The infill had firm mud bricks that required lots of effort to break. The mudbricks were all grey and made of clay. Underneath the mudbricks the skeleton was in a west/east direction oriented East to west, the skull facing west. A lot of nails were recovered, possibly coffin nails. A vase was also found at the feet of the skeleton. Clay balls and stones were also recovered from the infill along with obsidian flakes.
The rectangular fill turned out to be a child's burial, probably of 8-12 years old or less. The mudbrick was hard to break, made out of clay. More than five iron nails were found in the burial. Three diffrerent skeleton bones were found in the burial, possibly these different people were buried here and nearby. The burial has distinct walls and a sharp, clear floor. |
