Unit 23126

Category: Skeleton    dug in 2017

 

Area: North 

 

Interpretive Categories: adolescent primary burial 

 

Data Category Information: none

 

Discussion: Primary burial of an older adolescent (16-20 years), probable female. This burial appears to have been the focal burial, with the disarticulated postcranial remains around the perimeter of the cut, and the additional crania and mandibles at the eastern end of the cut. Individual Sk. 23126 had several burial inclusions in association with the skeletal remains. These included several items of personal adornment consisting of beads (necklace, bracelet and anklets), an obsidian mirror with chunks of ochre, wooden objects, blue pigment, and textile. The burial was disturbed by rodent burrowing that crossed through the ankles, forearms and torso.
