Unit 20162
Category: Skeleton dug in 2012
Area: TPC
Interpretive Categories: Neolithic male adult
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: 0.85 m x 0.63 m x 0.27 m
Discussion: This burial was only a few centimeters from the surface - no cut was identifiable at the top in plan.
This is a primary burial of sk. 20162 adult. The individual was located in the topsoil, where the right lower limb appears to have eroded over time and exposure. The hand was in the NW part of the grave with the face flexed and facing East. The thorax was prone, though the abdomen and pelvis were tilted onto the left side. The right humerus was straight at the side (prone), flexed at the elbow, and the hand was located under the ribcage (position suggests forearm/hand were pronated) and palm down. Left hand was more disturbed but curled slightly under left innominate, where forearm was slightly pronated and behind the individual's lower back/gluteal region. This is probably a Neolithic burial. No associated grave goods. Greater sciatic notch is male (very narrow).
Cut not identifiable but arbitrarily given [20257].
3D model planned.
