General remarks | This is a small pit that has an infant burial. The edge of the pit was visible except a weak line in the South side. Soil deposit in the pit was not different than the outside soil texture (L.5217 anf L.5220). Burial was placed in a sitting position and probably the forearms were almost in crossed position. Almost all of the bones of the body and the skull was intact but there must be some bones missing since some bone residues in milimetric size was visible but blended into deposit. Burial may have been younger than 6 moths old because no tooth was recovered from this locus. |

Has note | Contexts excavated in trenches were recorded using the "locus system." A locus is any discrete three-dimensional entity excavated in a trench. The key to the locus system is the recognition that a locus is any one thing. Differences in soil composition or texture are therefore as important as, for example, the difference between a pit and a wall. If two entities were distinct, they were considered separate loci and were therefore assigned separate locus numbers. It should also be noted that every context excavated in a trench was given a locus number and thus the trench itself is made up completely of excavated loci. |
