| This was an islamic burial of a female adult, facing south, lying on its right side. The skeleton was in excellent condition, however, some of the skeletons lower vertebrea was deformed, possibly causing chronic pain. The burial was situated very low stratigraphically cutting through surrounding features. It is possibly the lowest islamic burial in TPC. The cut and fill of burial couldn't be all exposed because of it going into the trench wall. However half of it could be exposed and it showed a straight vertical cut. Very distinct. Surrounding the burial, or at least flanking the short ends was a burial superstructure, consisting of yellowish bricks, clearly different from the roman wall fragments in sp. 505. |
