Unit 16309

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2007

Area: North 

Data Category Information: none

Discussion: It looks like as if this burial was done earlier in the platform. When F3010 was opened up several times for other interments, part of F3025 was exposed (northern part) but was not disturbed. The disarticulated bones were scattered around and over Skeleton 16309.

Theremight be other interments around same time or near the time that this individual was buried (only based on the nearby articulated bodies about the same level and the area that the disarticulated bones covered)
The amount of inviduals buried under east platform and the degrees of the articulation of these bones makes it very difficult to understand the sequence.
One thing seems to be clear that 16309 was one of the earliest but later than 16137 (headless individual)
