| Area: South | | Dug in Year: 2013 | Feature Type: burial | Feature Subtype: | | Location: Eastern platform, F. 3508 | | Grid X: 924.04 Grid Y: 960.76 | | This very deep burial cut, with dimensions fitting a whole /individual/ grown up body, only contained a cranium. The cranium was placed in direct physical contact with the cranium of sk. 20832 (older burial). The position of the two crania may suggest that sk. 20830 was buried only shortly after sk. 20832, although the burials are separated by a stratigraphical unit (u. 20816).
The big cut of F. 7010, in relation to the cut needed to bury the cranium, is intreguing. Was it dug in order to search for the head of the body of the older burial (sk. 20832)? Still, that would not have required such a big cut either, as the heads are usually placed to the west.
F. 7006 and F. 7009 are not, it seems, judging from the section of the space 370, features of their own, but might be fills of F. 7010 | | In situ Conservation: No | Lifted: No | | Feature Relationships: | cut by: (Click to view the record) 7003, 7006, 7009 | cuts: (Click to view the record) 3508, 7011 | | Number of Related Diary Entries: 2 | | Conservation Recorded: No | Related Photos: 6 (Opens as a group in a new window) | Buildings: (Click to view the record)
