At the top of the grave cut, the fill was relatively compact and contained a lot of mubrick debris, which made it initially quite difficult to follow. Lower in the cut the fill became gradually looser, finer and darker. The lowest level of the fill was very loose due to the animal intrusion. The fill contained a small number of small ancient pot sherds. The infant was older than any of the other burials excavated this season in Op. A and appears between 1 and 2 years old, judging by the teeth. The infant was aligned E-W with the head at the western end of the grave. The body lay on its right side with the face looked south towards Mecca. A large and uncollapsed rodent burrow intruded into the grave at the SE end, and this had caused considerable damage to the legs and southern side of the grave. The legs were missing except for the top inch of the left femur, and some ribs and all arm bone had been eaten from the torso area. The burial was recorded and immediately reburied by the reps approx 100m north of the excavation
