Context Type:		Skeleton
Title:		Skeleton of Grave 2016-02
Category:		Deposit
Notebook:		1110
Context:		934
Date:		2016/05/09
Notes:		When I started excavating the context, I believed I would find a disturbed skeleton based on the presence of a rib on the surface of the west end. However, upon furhter excavation, the in situ, articulated remains of an infant or child became apparent. The individual does not hav e a related cranium thus far. Observing the vertebrae in situe, it seems that T1-T9/10 may be present in varying conditions. The ribs are in far condition. The position of the bones indicates that the individual was buried laying on their left side with the right arm slightly flexed laying at the left side. The elbow is the highest elevation (85.156m) of the skeleton. The right ribs are directly on tope of the left ribs. 2016/05/10 Upon further excavation and considreation fo the remains, I realized that the individual was supine and NOT laying on their left side. Thus, only the upper right side was preserved and in situ. The presence of smaller, likely perinatal bone sin the fill above the burial indicate the presence of another individual, albiet highly disturbed. These bones may have been from an earlier burial that was dug through for the burial of ske. 934. The burial is located quite close to Wall 20, suggesting that the wall may have served as the north side of the burial. A rock revealed in the cut (933) is embedded within the cut. This rock may belong to the burial (Dep. 943) directly south of this burial.
