These are moderately preserved remains from the inhumation burial of an infant (6-12 months).
The burial is from Phase H: 772-1019 AD
They were buried in a supine position in a simple grave oriented North-South A N-S orientation is very rare in the Early Medieval with only 2.1% of Five Mile Lane cemetery burials in this alignment. Of the 8 N-S aligned burials, only 2 are adults (both female), the other 6 are children like this very young baby.
The burial is associated, by proximity, to SK101, SK107, SK119, SK137. All of these skeletons are infants, three are buried in the same odd N-S orientation, meaning half of the children oriented N-S are buried in the same location. SK101: N-S, infant (phase J) SK105: N-S, infant (phase H) SK107: N-S, child (phase I) SK119: SW-NE, child (phase G) SK137, W-E, infant (phase D)
The individual's bones possibly showed signs of scurvy. Scurvy can be seen by porotic lesions on the skull. This individual had porotic lesions on the greater wing of the sphenoid and post-cranially on the sternal ribend of an infant.
