Skeleton well-preserved, but disarticulated. W --> E orientation. Similar to skeletons 3032+3034, the skeleton was placed on an organic plank (likely wood) that is no longer extant and was then deposited on a platform cut into the bedrock. The skull is supported by a pillow, the legs and feet likely by the organic platform. The right half of the skeleton slopes towards the south, this slope, and the position of the skull are such that there seems to have been an organic plank covering the opening of the niche (or possibly stones removed with fill 3021). This prevented the skeleton from falling out of the niche. The fact that the right half of the skeleton is sloping south suggests that the plank supporting it broke in half (in the same W-E orientation) before decomposing.
