Description

  • Extended supine burial facing east
  • Very disturbed but likely facing east
  • Laying by the side of the body
  • Cannot be seen
  • Cannot be seen
  • Extended only femur can be seen
  • Cannot be seen
  • Preservation bone itself is good however the skeleton is fairly disturbered and appears that bones from other inhumations have been mixed up with the burial
  • the bones where damaged prior to lifting. breaks occurred along prior brakes in the bone, the burial was fairly disturbed and many of the breaks could be attribute to previous disturbances.
  • Lots of other bones were very close to the burial. These were lifted and labelled as SK2112 misc. This was due to the missing legs and proximity to the burial that the bones should not be separated from the burial incase they were from the individual SK2112 but had been slightly disturbed to not be fully articulated
