Hi Gary,
We'd put the inhumation down as the site, then the beaker and skeletal
remains as finds attached to the inhumation event. The barrow example
could have the barrow itself as the site, with the inhumation attached.
Sorry, we use an in-house system where we can attach multiple events to
one Site UID number!
Thanks!

Subject: Recording individual Burials
I am adding a few burials to the HER, one is within a BA barrow and 2
others are in separate graves all are not contemporary with one another.
So there is a grave, human remains and a beaker. The question is which
are classed as sites? Is the grave a site with the human remains and
beaker as artefacts or should the human remains be a site as well as it
is an intact inhumation?
