Narrative

    • Partially exposed E-W aligned burial of an individual SK2453 with the head to the west in the Christian tradition. Only the skull and upper right arm were exposed as of the 2022 season and remain in-situ. The skull was observed tilted to the right and the location of the upper arm suggests the individual is most likely lying in a supine extended position. This grave is visible truncating stone lined channel F724 and if excavated could potentially provide a date before which the channel must have been constructed.
