Pit

Discussion

Another unusual pit (in close proximity to pit 011AE00163). This pit contained four teeth from a composite bone comb, but more significantly contained almost an entire skeleton of a human foetus. The foetus has not yet been examined by the human bone specialist. A small fragment of cattle femur was also recovered.
