-
- Unusual inhumatoion - body and head lying on right side as if in a crouched burial, but leg is extended. Right leg is missing. Grave is clearly disturbed, since both animal bone and part of another human jaw were found in leg area, but upper body and left leg are still articulated.

-
- Possible deviant burial as the body is turned to its side but the sole leg is stretched out flat- body probably not been turned to that position due to later disturbance (which would explain the missing leg, animal bone, and a part of human jaw in the fill) as the body would not be as articulated as it is.
