Interpretation

    • adult female skeleton buried in a built tomb. May have been part of a series of tombs (looks like there is another tomb just to the south; same alignment; same fill type; unexcavated in 2009.)

  • poor
  • W-E adult female skeleton between narthex wall and cloister. Head crushed. Lateral compression, clavichus nearly verticle, scapula vertical.
  • Sammy Cox believes that the skeleton must have been buried in a tight space (i.e. coffin) because of the manner of decomposition. However, there is the remains of a tomb wall made of tufa (decomposing) and bricks.
