An incomplete (85%) inhumation of an adult female aged 30-40 years (extended, supine) in a plain grave oriented west-east. The grave was disturbed by root action, likely resulting in intrusions/comingling of individuals.
Elements present: complete L femur and near-complete R femur, complete L humerus and fragmentary R humerus, L and R radius, L and R ulna, L and R tibia, ribs, vertebrae, crania, complete R clavicle and L clavicle fragment (lateral), L and R scapula, L and R fibula. Possible gallstone. The left humerus and ulna are very gracile compared to the right ulna.
Intrusion: extra R proximal femur shaft from a more robust person, extra 2 distal R humerus shafts (more robust than the complete humerus)
Animal bone, a burial pebble and early Medeival pottery (bii amphora, SF 249) were also found in the grave.
