Title:   cut for grave 2015-08
Notebook:   1109
Context:   781
Date:   2015/05/19
Description:   The context shape in plan is oval. The top break of the cut is sharp. The sides of the cut are vertical. The break at the base of the cut is sharp. The base of the cut is flat. Truncation: cut by grave 1996-04.
Notes:   This cut had been outlined for us by previous excavators. It was dug into context 789 and later truncated by grave 1996-04. The cut likely disturbed an earlier grave because we found a disarticulated skull and other bones (skeleton 779) placed on top of the primary burial in grave 2015-08 (skeleton 775). The cut is a little problematic at the north - as dug it extends some 30 cm beyond the feet of skeleton 775. After removing the two skeletons, we kept finding more bones, especially at the northern end of the cut. The bones we uncovered there were articulated feet and long bones. This explains why the cut extended farther to the north than skeleton 775.
