| | Area: South | | | | Dug in Year: 2013 | | Feature Type: burial | | Feature Subtype: | | | | Location: N-NE part of B.96, Sp. 370, in platform F.3508 | | | | Grid X: 924.5 Grid Y: 962.8 | | | This burial consists of a cut with fairly vertical walls, as far as I can discern them. The body buried in it was extremely tightly flexed, with the knees and the one of the hands right into the face, the head and toes pressed and flexed against the walls of the cut. Two other crania are visible in the basal deposit of the fill; possibly/probably from burials underneath.
The burial act: Once the body was covered with fill, the cut was filled with yet four layers. First a thin plaster layer covering all but the protruding right hipbone, then a kind of other brown infill layer, then a second plaster layer covering all of the cut interior and body, then another thin brown layer and finally a third plaster layer, covering also the edges of the burial cut.
Together with the basal deposit fill (u.20809), the burial was, in all, filled with and covered/ sealed with six different, distinctly separable layers. | | | | In situ Conservation: No | | Lifted: No | | | | Feature Relationships: | | cut by: (Click to view the record) 7001, 7006, 7012 | | cuts: (Click to view the record) 3508 | | | | Number of Related Diary Entries: 1 | | | | Conservation Recorded: No | | Related Photos: 29 (Opens as a group in a new window) | Buildings: (Click to view the record)
