Skeleton: An asult who was buried on his/her left side with the head in the west and facing north. Straight arms, legs unarticulated. Damaged by later burials, but the upper part of the body in a good condition: tibia + femur possibly on north edge (of U20420).
Grave infill: Similar to the surrounding material and disturbed, therefore hard to distinguish from the surrounding material. The same problem goes for the entire grave cluster: Many burials, all individuals in separate cuts; and similar infills that have been dug up again and reused, make it hard to define the grave edges in terms of cut lines plus infill differences. The positions of the skeletons and disarticulated elements, though, give a good picture of cuts and stratigraphy.
Primarly burial, disturbed by later burials. No signs of wrapping, binding, no grave goods.
19472 is one of only two adults in the Space 40 grave cluster although perhaps a young adult. The legs are disturbed and unarticulated, which they would not have been if 19472 was buried in an extended position. Therefore, it seems that 19472 was buried in the same crouched position as the other skeletons in the Space 40 cluster.
