Narrative

    • East-West aligned partially exposed skeleton approximately 0.44m long and 0.42m wide. Only the skull and top portion of the arms were exposed, the rest extends into section. This skeleton was revealed upon excavation of a slot in the eastern section of Trench 2 (West). The cut appeared to be very close to the body and most of the skeleton extended into section and was not fully excavated. The grave fill was similar in nature to the layer it is cut into - containing additional charcoal flecks and some small stones. No relationships to other features were observed.
