Short Description:
Skeleton cut into ditch [2311], protruding from SE facing section of the ditch slot - legs only exposed
Issued to

Interpretation

    • This skeleton's lower legs only were exposed and were not lifted as of the 2022 season. The grave was encountered during an intervention through ditch [2311] but it was decided the skeleton did not need to be lifted in order to characterise the ditch. Of note was the fact that the exposed legs appeared to show signs of charcoal adhering to them that may be indicative of a possible charcoal burial. Though more work would need to be conducted to confirm this.
