Summary | 2007-08-13 | sC | i175 has been attribuited to a complete adult skeleton found within burial a25 located at the bottom of pit f342 (which cuts the stone pavement f193, a12) in k205. Interestingly, most of the human bones appear fired. Probably the firing of the bones took place in a later time; the pit fill f343, in fact, was mostly ash and charcoal chunks in nature.

Daily notes about recovery of elements | 2002-12-01 | lR | The body appears secondarily fired given that the bones are a darker color and very hard. Usually the skeletons uncovered are brittle and white, these bones are hard and solid much like cooked animal bones. The pit fill f343 is all ash with chunks of charcoal found around the body. It is possible that either the body was filled with soil then later secondarily fired from the top, or that during burial it was fired. We removed the bones after photographing them and will leave the situation as it is until next season when we have more time to excavate this fill and understand better the situation.

Roster | Date | Author | Record |
---|---|---|---|
Condition | 2002-12-01 | lR | The skull of i175 was excavated three years ago by A13 and re-covered. Cloth was placed on top of the bones then plastic and covered with soil to protect the bones. When uncovered this year, some damage occurred over the years. The cloth had dissolved and attached to some of the skull creating black splotches. The skull became more brittle and cracked. Evidence of water seepage was seen by the chin, which contained laminations. Better methods for preserving exposed bones must be employed. Likely the best technique is to cover the bones only with soil avoiding plastic and cloth. [Input: N303LR.j] |
