K 441. Plan XVII, K IV (continued).
Objects: 1, on floor, near legs of ram; would probably belong to a body (D?) which lay
behind the bed, partly under it (hardly from chief body); the rest were in dis-
turbed debris.
1. Fragments of several ivory armlets; section, 11 X 10 mm. and 9 X 8 mm.;
14-1-462.
i. Bone awl; 14-1-463.
+ii. Small jar, R. W. V-4; 14-1-464.
iii. Wide-mouthed pot, Bkt. XIX-1; 14-1-465.
iv. Potsherds — Bkt. beakers; R. P.; R. W.; 14-1-466.
v. Fragments of a basket; 14-1-467.
vi. Fragments of ivory dagger-butt; 14-1-468.
vii. Ivory bed-inlays; two plant-form border-pieces and six lobes (as of six-lobed
rosette); 14-1-480.
K 442. Plan XVII, K IV, comp. 1/2-1/3. Fig. 83.
Grave: rectangular, 265 X 192 cm., 150 cm. below foot of walls; orient., 10° north of east.
Burial: badly plundered; bed-burial (?) with five (or more) sacrificial bodies.
Body A — chief body, in usual place for bed-burial; on right side, head east; legs in
place, half extended; dagger at foot of grave probably from this body.
Body B — sacrificial, in front of foot of bed; on right side, head east; right hand in
front of or over face; left hand on right elbow; dagger on front of waist.
Body C — sacrificial, behind bed and partly under it; on right side, head east; hands
at or over face.
Body D — in SE corner, on right side, head east; closely contracted; hands over face.
Body E — in NE corner, right leg only in place; on right side, head east.
Body F — sacrificial; vertebrae, broken skull, right humerus, in place; was partly over
legs of B; on right side, head east.
Objects: 1, in place; 2, 3-9, disturbed; rest in debris.
1. Bronze dagger, grip and ivory butt (grip decayed); broad form of blade; total
length, ca. 32.5 cm.; length of blade, 20.5 cm.; fragments of cloth sticking
to it, probably from garment or covering of body; 14-1-381.
2. Bronze dagger; grip and butt, decayed; broad form of blade; length of blade,
27.5 cm.; fragments of cloth adhering, probably from garment or covering;
14-1-382.
3. Kohl-pot, with disc-lid, both of alabaster; Chapter XXII, (5), Stone Vessels,
Type V-l; contains bluish-grey kohl powder; 14-1-383.
+4. Small jar, R. W. VI-5; 14-1-384.
5. Stack of broken beakers, Bkt. II-gen.; 14-1-385.
6. Small jar, R. W. VI-5; diam., 10.6; h., 8.7 cm.; 14-1-386.
7. Beaker, Bkt. II-3; 14-1-387.
+8a. Globular jar with neck, R. P. Grey II—1; 14-l-388a.
+8b. Squat jar, R. P. VI-14; 14-l-388b.
9. Beaker, Bkt. II-gen.; 14-1-389.
In the debris:
i. Few blue ring-beads; 14-1-390.
ii. Fragments of broken mica ornaments; see vi, below; 14-1-391.
iii. Bottle-jar, B. P. VI-gen.; 14-1-392.
iv. Potsherds — many Bkt. beakers; thick Bkt.; R. P.; K. W. (large vessel);
