Primary deposition adult. One of the last graves in the area. Perhaps the vicinity to the modern ground surface has caused the bad fracturing of the skull.
See also the discussion on feature sheet F3664.
This is one of the latest graves in Space 40 and also one of the most distructive in terms of disturbing earlier graves. It was placed between F3661, F3664 and F 3683, cutting then all to same extent. Older bones found were pushed to the sides of the cut to a much higher extent than in other younger cuts in the area. Especially the lower half of Skeleton 19472 seems to have been badly damaged.
Together with Skeleton 19484 wearing a stone bead necklace, 20419 was the only individual in Space 40 to be buried with beads. He or she had both a necklace and anklers on both ankles.
