K B 7. Plan VII, Sheet F, sect. D-i.
Grave: rectangular, 270 X 100 cm. = 2.7 sq. m., — 115 cm., 13° N of E.
Burial: probable bed-burial with one human sacrifice, as the right leg of one
sacrifice is in place in such a position that the head probably lay under
the lower end of bed; on right side, head east.
Objects: 1, 2 displaced beside leg; 3, 4, displaced in NE corner.

Grave: rectangular, 255 X 120 cm. = 3.1 sq. m., — 130 cm., 16° N of E.

burial is to be inferred with two human sacrifices (the pottery is too good
for a poor burial on the ground); eastern end of grave completely cleared.
Body B — assumed to have been under the foot of the bed; on right side, head
east; turned with shoulders and pelvis on back; half contracted;
skull, left humerus, and right arm missing; left hand was beside
left pelvis.

shoulders turned on back; head, right arm, and left forearm missing.
