Burial in a folded / fetal position on the side — with or without some sort of container — is a very old practice. The earliest known graves from the Precolumbian North American Arctic were found bound into that position and laid on their sides. With these — as with many others — any disarticulation of the remains has to do with age, critters munching the remains, earthquakes, other disturbances.
The story is over a year old, here’s the earlier topic, ping to those actually interested in archaeology, history, and science.
