Summary 2010-08-10 cJC This feature is the human skull of a child. It appears to be part of the brickfall and not a burial. Another human skull (i3) was found in the same locus and lR says that there are also human bones in the bone lots although they were not relayed individually. It is likely that the brickfall came from structures associated with burials. [Input: U810CJC.j]
