Discussion: This is a neolithic neonate foundin the SW corner for space 258. This space appears to be a smaller side room. SK 10361 may have been disturbed since the lower limbs appear to be out of anatomical position as does the right shoulder and arm bones. SK 10370 was found at the same level in the same burial cut. The cut was distinguishable in most areas although the northern part of the cut was less distinct than the rest. Sk 10391 was formed at a lower level than sk 10361 although some of the lower limb bones of sk 10361 and 10391 may have comingled. The burial cut was probably made through a floor level in the house although recognition of the floor was difficult. Sk 10370 was mostly distinct from Sk 10361. It is possible that Sk 10361 and 10370 were buried at the same time with Sk 10391 possibly being buried earlier than 10361 and 10370. Yellow residue was inside one rib. Sk 10370 may have been buried after Sk 10361 since the left foot of Sk 10391 was found on top of the right tibia and fibula of Sk 10761. This may account for the disturbed bones and missing bones of Sk 10361.
