Unit 12935

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2006

Area: North 

Interpretive Categories: Juvenile neolithic skeleton in multiple burial 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: SK12935 is one of three articulated skeletons placed into the burial pit which represent the last burial (interment) event in this part of the platform. This juvenile, 12935, was placed into the grave before SK13126 in this interment event because part of it's body lies under SK13126. The interment of three individuals(12935, 13126, 13132) probably occurred at the same time and disturbed two individuals already occupying the same space (13124 and 13125). After interment of the three individuals, the remains of the two distrurbed individuals, the remains of the two disturbed individuals were placed back in the pit above 12935, 13132, and 13126.
