Interpretation
-
- Probable tomb grave of an adult male, W: E orientation, inside campanile. L. side seems to be a little in a line, laterally compressed against what may have been a tomb wall. Feet are turned like they were pushed up against end wall (perhaps the white paving stones). R. elbow and L. hand extend out and under 2091 suggesting that it predates the bell tower. Skeleton was most likely buried in full earth.
