Interpretive Categories: skeleton 

 

Data Category Information: none

 

Dimensions: 0.20 x 0.20 x 0.03 m 

 

Discussion: Partially complete skeleton of ?neonate infant - present were skull (uncertain whether complete - face not seen, but lifted as block), some cervical / thoracic vertebrae with at least 3 ribs, clavicle, tibia & fibula (articulated) of 1 leg only.

The burial appears to be contained within 2013 which is building fill over or around oven in 112. Part of the oven roof has collapsed over skull or against it, suggesting it is not a later cut. In addition blackening of some bones suggests burial was inserted during use of oven - perhaps reflected in rake-out overlying 2013.

Question remains about relationship of 2013, 2017 to the oven & how only parts of the burial are present, yet remain in articulation 

 

Condition: bright 

X and Y of Targets: Target A - X: 912.16; Target A - Y: 977.92; Target B - X: 912.92; Target B - Y: 977.82; Target C - X: 0; Target C - Y: 0; Target D - X: 0; Target D - Y: 0 

Body: Little present: cranial / thoracic vertebrae and some ribs; tibia & fibula - suggesting flexed position; clavicle
