371
K 1000A. Plan XXI, K X, in west end of corridor. (Plan 25, 4; Fig. 135.)
Grave: rectangular, 310 X 190 cm. and 120 cm. below floor of corridor; orient., 8° south
of east.
Burial: bed-burial (bed entirely removed), with at least five sacrificial bodies.

side, head east and afterwards twisted body over so that she lay breast
down with head on left cheek; right hand beside pelvis; left, on left
buttock; circlet on head.
Body C — in SW corner (last body in), partly over D; lies on back, head thrown
back, knees leaning towards left against south wall; hands at sides;
circlet on head.
Body D — in SW corner, partly under C; on left side, head east; left hand at chin;
right arm displaced by pressure, but appeared to have lain across body
with hand on left arm; cirlet on head.
Body E — middle of west end; on right side, head east; turned slightly forward
with right arm under neck and hand at top of head; left hand in front,
against back of F.
Body F — in NW corner, in front of E; on right side, head east; hands clasped (?),
near knees.
