3. THE ARCHAEOLOGICAL GROUP OF K XIX
As has been said, the type of the tumulus and the burial, as far as it can be deduced,
was practically the same as K XVIII. The stone and the faience vessels also bring the
mound into relations with K XVIII and the preceding tumuli. The gold and carnelian
necklace indicates the original richness of the burial furniture; but the extraordinary
plundering of the grave and the lack of any subsidiary graves have reduced the material
for classification to the lowest limits. We can only take what is available and allow a rea-
sonable discount for classes of objects which were not found.
