Short Description:
Skeleton in grave 2595 in SE corner of TR2W
Issued to
Ben Swain | 11/09/2024

Interpretation

    • Skeleton of a juvenile buried with the head to the west and feet to the east in the early christian tradition. This individual was buried directly adjacent to and up against the right leg of SK2599 and it is highly likely both individuals were laid to rest together. There is a likelihood that both individuals are related, possibly parent and child, although further analysis would need to be conducted to confirm this.
