It's probably the best place for funnel insertion at the end of the day. A hole left behind there is appropriate, you don't want to mess with any details you might get from the face, and it's way funnier this way.

The best place would probably be the first place you found. The archeologist wouldn't have any clue to the exact position the person was in and over digging could ruin the find

The person making the illustration though knew what they were doing.

I do wonder how they knew it was a person shaped cavity vs a plain old hole in the ground.

Approximate placement I guess. Stonework would survive, wooden structures would collapse, human and animal remains would naturally form a curved cavity that's relatively strong.
