Behold Burial 6 and its 3 Pots

Today we began exposing the small carinated pot with cord patterns on its body. By 10 a.m., it was clear that the pot was not alone but was part of a cluster of three. It was also clear that these pots were part of the burial assemblage of Burial 6, our latest and probably the last one we will expose as time is running our for us. It was also clear that not one but two of the three pots were carinated.

A closer look at the pots, one of which is still intact despite the sandy soil matrix.

Burial 6 with the three pots. The cranium of this burial has moved perhaps due to taphonomic circumstances. It now faces south while its body is extended and in an East-to-West orientation.
