Short Description:
Fill of grave F742 containing SK2578
Issued to
Ben Swain | 12/10/2022

Interpretation

    • Likely reflecting a small circular pit containing metalworking debris, this feature remains unexcavated as of the 2022 season and was exposed only during cleaning of the 'metalworking' area, along with a cluster of other potential candidates for intercutting pits.

    • Upon excavation in the 2023 season, it was discovered that this material actually represented the fill of a grave F742 containing SK2578. This grave was only partially exposed and the skeleton remains in-situ as of 2023.
