Short Description:
Cut of a grave containing neonatal skeleton SK2564 cut into drain F724
Issued to
Ben Swain | 23/09/2023

Interpretation

    • The cut of grave containing neonatal SK2564 was not distinguishable from the surrounding soil matrix. It was likely aligned W-E in the early christian tradition. The skeleton within did not survive excavation in an articulated state due to its fragility. It was lifted to prevent further degradation in-situ. The grave appears to have been dug through, or at least on top of, drain F724
