Dimensions: 0.75 x 0.4 x 0.2 

 

Discussion: 2nd burial in grave 89 -- placed on top of skeleton (2058) and perhaps causing some displacement of latter. (2056) is basically articulated with exception of L leg -- although this was clearly fleshed when rearranged because the patella was in place.
Displaced foot in SW corner of gill looks small but given its location is more likely to belong to (2056) than (2058)? 

 

Condition: generally sunny
