AREA 3000Nella porzione sud-orientale del settore continua l’indagine della fossa sepolcrale US – 3830, orientata S-N lungo la fossa di spoliazione della facciata della chiesa di XI secolo. All’interno della tomba è in corso la messa in luce dei resti scheletrici di un individuo in connessione anatomica (USK 30065), apparentemente in cattivo stato di conservazione, deposto supino. Today in area 3000, we continued the excavation of USK 30065 that was found in the south eastern section of sector B. As we continued to level and expose the bones for USK 30065, its thorax, right tibia, right fibula, left tiba, and a portion of the left patella were uncovered. Near the end of the day, the right humerus was uncovered and the distal ends of the radius and ulna of the right arm were found. There are now further plans to finish excavation of USK 30065 and find the entirety of the grave cut for -3080. |
AREA 5000Today, team members pickaxed and shoveled along the East wall, from South (Section C) to North (Section B) all the way to the North wall seperating Area 5000 from Area 3000. In section D, we levelled down the center North trench (Context 5589). Members continued to pickaxe 2 and a half feet down the trench North of the one previously described (Context 5590). A metacarpal, 2 carpals, pottery sherds, a flint piece, and a human long bone were found. |
