| This is a burial located beneath the platform (F 3507) in the NE corner of building 96 in space 370. The burial infill was artifact scarce, except for pieces of bone and a bit of obsidian around the top and pieces of shiny shell throughout the infill. About 15 centimeters down in the burial fill we came across plant material, and upon exposing more of it we ecountered bone. We attempted to expose as much of the mat as possible before removing it to get to the skeleton but that was rather difficult as the mat was very delicate and often attached to the bones. The skeleton was in the fetal position - the remains (pretty much complete) of a young child with a shell of about 3 centimeters around his/her temple. |
