Unit 20217

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2012

Area: TPC 

Interpretive Categories: Neolithic juvenile 

Data Category Information: none

Dimensions: 1.05 x 0.73 x 0.26 m 

Discussion: This is a disturbed juvenile skeleton, most likely was a primary as one of the earlier events in this burial f. 3931. Majority of individual is disarticulated, where the skull was upside down and crushed against NW edge of cut 20258. Both tibia and one fibula were directly underneath skull, suggestive that there may have been some fleshy remains holding the tibia and fibula together. The right femur was at the opposite end of grave on top of sk. 20208 and 20166 pelvises. Other small bones were found in fill, but only a few. This individual may have been the first event in this feature, or was buried at the same time as sk. 20208 who was also disturbed partially.
