Full Description
A shallow feature, disturbed by the digging of a later rubbish pit. Only the bones of the lower part of the skeleton remained in place in the grave. The bones were a pair of slender femora, those of a mature adult, and their gracile nature led the excavators to conclude that they were probably those of a female. The lower parts of the legs remained in the side of the trench, and were not excavated. (1)(2)
