Full Description
Remains of a skeleton found in Area C in 1933 about 60ft NW of the Kiln Enclosure. Part only of the skull remained and some of the arm and leg bones, but although much of the skeleton was missing, including all the vertebrae, the presence of three large jet beads in position on the chest indicated that the bones had not been disturbed. The depth from the surface was under two feet. No vessels accompanied the internment.<1>
