Rectangular trench, measuring approximately 0.80m long, 0.40m wide, with ... Middle Geometric I ... The filling consisted of hard-packed burned earth with scattered fieldstones, crude pieces of mudbrick, ash, charcoal, the cremated remains of, the deceased, described by Angel as an arthritic woman about 45-50 years old, as well as what was originally published as a few unburned bones of a dog. Recent reanalysis of the human remains, which were poorly preserved, yielded results consistent with Angel's estimation of age, but Liston noted the possibility that it is a male rather than female. As for the animal bones, probably the belonged to two sheep or goats, at least one specimen of cattle, a hare and a bird,, but there is nothing clearly identifiable as dog; of the 65 fragments of animal bones recovered, only four were clearly burnt. |
