OTHER: None found COMMENTS: Room for child on east side. "From its size this grave evidently originally contained two child burials, of which the eastern one is completely missing. This eastern part of the grave could not have contained an adult. It was 10 cm. deeper than the western part and its under matting, of Type I, lengthwise, was well preserved. The intact burial in the western part was a child of 12 to 14 months, lying directly on left side with both arms extended straight to left knee. It was wrapped in a matting of Type I, lengthwise, the folding over of the matting at the back being preserved from pelvis to feet and up the north end wall."
