Burial, burials, and more burials

6/17/2011

The last week of our field season is filled with the discovery of burials (4 so far, and a possible fifth).  Since we only have a few days remaining in the season, the team decided to complete the open units and leave other possible burials intact for future surveys.

Trench 6, Burial 2 (JB 7). The second burial unearthed in this field season.

Grave goods associated with Burial 2 (JB7). Earthenware pots keep on appearing in this burial. We thought that there were only three pots (as seen in other burials in the site), but two more appeared after retrieval of the Pot # 2.
Picture
Burial 3 (JB 8). Bioturbation in action; tree roots might have caused the human remains discovered in this trench to be displaced. One of the roots shattered a pot.

Farewell to Aom. Aom's last day in Trench 6. She's going home to Thailand for a job interview. Good luck Aom! Thank you for sharing your time. We learned a lot from your vast archaeological knowledge and experience!

Possible post hole in Trench 11, with Burial Burial 4 in the background. Could be an indication that the dead is buried under their house. Post hole starts in layer three that suggests that it was contemporaneous with the burials.

Yay! I like this page. Thanks Doc. for making this field school possible for me. I really had a great time and experience from such activity. I learned alot, especially in mapping. LOL! I hope we can do the same activity some times in the near future to enhance whatever i've learned; excavation, accessioning, land survey and especially "my favorite" mapping.
