Interpretation
-
- Tomb burial of an adult skeleton. Appears to have been placed directly on top of the body below as 3524 decomposed. It fell on 3257. The cranium, vertebrae and sacrum were displaced by the bones beneath. Was most likely buried in completely open space, possibly without a coffin. 1 July 2009- R. innominate was pushed up and medially, displacing sacrum and femor on that side. Other innominate held in place by wall - all in empty space.
