Analysis of Burial 58 from the Warren Wilson Site (31Bn29), Buncombe County, North Carolina

Burial 58 was first identified as Feature 329 in square 10R270 during the 1981 field season held by the Research Laboratories of Anthropology at the Warren Wilson site, Buncombe County, North Carolina. At the top of subsoil, the feature appeared as an area of fill consisting of dark brown-tan sandy soil mixed with red- orange sandy soil. After Levels 1 and 2 of the fill were removed from the 10R270 square, the pit began to take on the elongated, oval shape characteristic of a burial. Exploration of the feature was initiated during the 1981 field season; however, because of its location on the margin of that year's excavation, further work on it was postponed until 1982.墓葬58最初于1981年野外发掘季中，由北卡罗来纳州邦科姆县沃伦·威尔逊遗址的人类学研究实验室团队，在10R270探方内识别为遗迹329。该遗迹在亚土层顶部呈现为一片填土区域，由深棕黄褐色砂质土与红橙色砂质土混合构成。当10R270探方内的填土第1、2层被移除后，该坑体逐渐显现出墓葬所特有的长椭圆形轮廓。该遗迹的勘探工作始于1981年野外发掘季，但因它地处当年发掘区域的边缘地带，后续相关工作被推迟至1982年开展。
