Late period, possibly Roman burial. EW oriented. Burial capped with mud brick capping (u. 20499). Fill 19568 contained many nails showing that this burial is a coffin burial (at least 23 nails were assigned x find numbers).
The skeleton was buried in supine position, head on the west, facing northeast.
The skull was covered by a very thin plate of charred wood which was defined as poplar by the botany specialists.
The initial analysis of the skeleton shows that the individual was an adult female, between 20 and 30, and most likely from Sub-Saharan Africa.
The individual was buried with two ceramic vessels and one glass unguentarium. Also, two bone objects were found by the feet. Similar objects were found with late burial F.3689 immediately to the south of this burial.
Late burial F.3689 right next to this one. |
