K 453. Plan XVII, K IV, comp. 14/1-16/1. Fig. 89.
Grave: rectangular, 300 X 190 cm., 130 cm. below foot of walls; orient., 26° north of
east.
Burial: bed-burial (?) with five sacrificial bodies; plundered; bed inferred from character
of debris around A; all bones badly crushed by pressure.
Body A — chief body, on bed; on right side, head east; half extended; legs only in
place; in front of waist lay an ivory dagger-butt (11a) but the blade was
missing (withdrawn by thieves for gold studs?); under and over thighs,
a large quantity of amulet-beads, etc. (11), probably from a garment.
Body B — sacrificial, at east end, tightly contracted on right side, head south; hands
on face.
Body C — sacrificial, in NE corner, very much decayed and broken; apparently on
right side, head east but with left leg turned up and back over D, while F
lay on right leg.
Body D — sacrificial, with head south of waist of C; on right side, head east; hands
apparently near face; under left leg of C (q. v.).
Body E — sacrificial, against north wall, in front of and partly over D, with shoulders
on right leg of C; last body in the grave; on right side, head east; hands
at or over face.
Body F — most important sacrificial body (probably first wife); half extended in
front of bed; on right side, head east; right femur and lower legs in place.
Objects: 11 and 11a, on body A; pottery, badly smashed, about in original places; rest
in debris:
