- This burial was uncovered partially in 2019 and fully in 2021 before being lifted. The individual was lying on its right side extended supine. The legs were positioned tightly together with the left over the right. This may suggest possible binding in a shroud. Charcoal discovered and sampled from beneath the head and some parts of the body suggest a possible charcoal burial
