Skeleton of a neonate. Initially 17229 was visible as a brown fill around the body (which was partially exposed by removal of grave 2420) . As parts of the skull continued under the room fill lumps of 16896 in space 342, the unit 17229 is most likely only another patch within 16896.
Given the proximity to the late grave 2420 and the EW orientation of the body of 16835 (head the West) it could alternatively be a late burial in or under the grave cut (cf. Pit 17226, 17227 under 2420). The contracted position of the skeleton and the neatly abutting spine at wall 5051 and the embedding into 16896, however, make an Chalcolithic date much more plausible. All sorts of stuff were closely deposited at the walls of space 310 (potsherds etc), so why not a neonate? |
