Unit 4438
Category: skeleton dug in 1999
Area: South
Interpretive Categories: skeleton
Data Category Information: none
Dimensions: 0.26m (N-S) by 0.21m (E-W)
Discussion: This is a very strange placing of the body, perhaps originally sitting (?) It is possible that originally the basket prevented the body from the infill. Then over time it slumped to the south. This could also explain the straight arms and legs and bizarre placing of the basket.
