F. 7179 represents a late-period, likely Islamic burial, oriented E-W with individual u. 30775 facing south. The skeleton is supine, but the skeleton extends into the E edge of the trench. We have therefore made the decision to take the bones which were inside our trench, including the humeri (which necessitated digging a bit into the trench profile) and later filling these holes back in, which should be noted in case this area is ever excavated (i.e. for sinking foundations for the TPC shelter). It was underneath the small, late-period wall f.3963-- perhaps this was some sort of grave marker?
