Skeleton
During the excavation, we located a very well-preserved skeleton
The skeleton was buried in a grave, which cut through and was backfilled with sand - and was clearly visible against the darker soil towards its base
 |
 |
The skeleton was of great interest, and everyone on site seemed to get a go at helping with its excavation
 |
 |
 |
 |
 |
The person was buried with a polished disc by its head and a tiny bronze ornament beside the left arm
 |
 |
 |
Many people came to site to see the skeleton being excavated
 |
 |
 |
The person was buried on his or her back, with the left arm crossing the chest and the knees together
 |
 |
 |
After it had been cleaned, the skeleton was recorded...
 |
 |
 |
...before being lifted so that it can be studied by specialists from GUARD
