Notes:		Skeleton context 516 was revealed by the removal of the grave fill 508. The shape of the grave cut prserved a sort of ledge at its N end that served as a sort of pillow to prop up the head and shoulders of the individual. It appears that the grave pit was thus a little short as both legs are slightly flexed. Although the arms are crossed over the thorax, the bones of the forearms are not actually superimposed on one another, rather the right arm crossed over the thorax above the leftarm but not overlapping. The pubic symphysis was not identified or recovered during excavation, suggesting that it may not have preserved. Grave 2014-10, Bone Lot 2014-19
