18 months child buried in abasket. The basket + lid lie in th southern half of a large cut - it is possible that the basket has moved from a more central position postdepositionally or during backfilling of the grave. It is also possible that there is another burial in the cut. The basket itself appears to have suffered some postdepositional disturbance - the lid lies off centre to the NW + is angled down to the SE as if it had fallen in on the skeleton. The western half of the basket has been squashed down - so that there is no obvious break between the sides + the base.
The skeleton itself is orientated east -> wes, lying on its right side. Near to its right hand (or what remains of it) and resting on its jaw, was a bone object 5177 X.1. It is possible that it was holding this or that it was placed as if holding it.
