Burial infill

This was a concentration of animal bones (probably sheep / goat) within inter-wall infill [19385]. An evident articulation of the discrete group of material suggests that the deposit was a sort of cache placed intentionally before decomposition of tissues. The above assumption seems to be more plausible taking into consideration the specific arrangement of the bones that were set in sort of pairs. The cluster consisted of: 2 right Metacarpals, 3 left Metacarpals, 3 right metatarsals with attached centraltarsals, and 2 left metatarsals from whom one had articulation with centraltarsal (see photo). Worth noticing are visible cut-marks and evidence of filleting and dismemberment activity. The total number of recorded bones indicates that cache was compound of at least 3 adult individuals.
