Discussion

A grave situated close to the northen limit of area 11AE. A very disturbed skeleton, probably by the digging of the pit (011AE00357) just to the south. No actual grave cut definition was ever seen on the ground, due to the later disturbance. Not all of the skeleton remained, although many of the burial characteristics could still be defined.  The skeleton was lying in the crouched position. The legs were up on the chest with the feet just below the pelvis. The arms were crossed over the chest, and part of the skull was lying on the chest. As far as could be determined from the bones which remained in position, the skeleton was oriented to the south-south-east. It was not possible to determine the direction in which the skull was facing. Three pottery sherds were excavated under this skeleton number, but it is more likely that they were deposited during the later disturance of the grave. Due to the extremely disturbed nature of the skeletal remains, 35 of the human bones were also treated as individual finds and lifted under individual tag numbers.
