Narrative

    • Burial cut into F217, along with F220 it is probably the latest feature in the NW extension. Both F219 and F220 were E-W aligned and contained fully articulated human skeletal remains in an extended supine position with heads at the western end of each, their hands overlay the pelvis. The feet of one individual were lying close to the skull of the other, suggesting the two graves intercut, however no relationship was observed between the mixed homogeneous fills.
