BAMBOULA, TOMB 15 NB VII, p. 61
30 March 1939Tomb 15 lies between Tombs 12 and 14. We dug through successive layers of fallen chavara expecting to find an intact tomb, only to find it thoroughly plundered. Clear it out to bed-rock, leaving a few bones and a skull in the east. The tomb is oval shaped, 2.60 x 2.80, 1.80 deep. The electron ear-ring, no. 1, was found in screening.
