Short Description:
Cut of possible grave

Interpretation

    • Cut of a potential grave. This was not excavated, but due to its location adjacent to other exposed human remains of a similar size, position and alignment, it was interpreted as a potential grave. Further excavation would be needed to confirm this. Interesting to note here is also a high concentration of quartz pebbles within the feature, possibly indicating a grave.
