Skeleton: Sub-adult orriented N-S with head in south and facing northeast. Lying on its right side with legs and arms tightly flexed, knees and hands towards the chest. Well preserved and all elements in situ, slighly damaged by an initially too quick excavation. Later disturbed by F3670 but only very slighly and only in the SE corner.
Grave infill: Very similar to surrounding material.
See feature sheet for F3661 for further discussion.
Primary deposition, very slighly disturbed by F3670. One of the most well preserved skeletons in the Space 40 grave cluster.
See feature sheet for F3664 for further discussion.
This individual's grave was dug just deep enough to touch a plastered surface. The same happened in the case of skeleton 20445's grave. It seems that the people digging the graves generally have stopped on one hard surface that covers the NW corner of Space 40 (not yet numbered, compact and white/light gray with salt accretions) and also have tried not to dig into the walls surrounding Space 40. Perhaps the walls were still visible, perhaps they only looked for soft spots to dig in.
