Interpretation
-
- tomb grave of young female. She is in supine positon with hand position that is unusual for this cemetery. She was beneath another child burial and is resting on top of many earlier remains. It is uncertain if the fluted marble is associated with her, though it does down further than has currently bee excavated, and may be ossociated with an earlier burial.
