Short Description:
Skeleton within grave 2443
Issued to

Interpretation
-
- This skeleton was not excavated as of the 2022 season, only partially exposed within grave [2443] truncating ditch [2311]. The elements of the skeleton that were exposed revealed a potentially unusual burial practice where the legs appear to be extending south into section (although this cannot be proven without further excavation) whilst the remainder of the upper body exposed (the ribs, part of the pelvis and some arms bones) appear to be aligned E-W. It was not deemed necessary to excavate this skeleton in order to achieve the excavation aims of this intervention and it remains in-situ as of 2022.
