Burial cut not positively identified - the bones of a neonate have been eroding out of Mellart's section for some years. The edge of Mellart's section was so eroded, and the bones of the neonate so fragile, that tracing a cut was impossible. Similarly, since the burial was located on the eroded slope, no overlying stratigraphy existed - its phase 4 stratigraphic location was, therefore, not secure. The presence of some 5 or 6 in this area belonging to B.53 suggest that SK14818 belonged to this phase of activity.

Neonate located in the surviving portion of space 272, which was truncated to the north and west by Mellaart's excavation. F.4076 was located on the eroded and truncated north western side. |
