Bamboula, Tombs (extracted from McFadden's notebooks)

NB VII, p. 77

10 April 1939Tomb 21 lies at the base of the cliff, about 0.40 west of Tomb 20. It is deeper and set further back into the cliff, and thus fairly well preserved. Masses of bones, and skulls, are found against the south wall, a few pots against the wall on the north.

11 AprilPhoto Bam. '39, 59, at this level (0.50 in north).

Parts of six skeletons are visible. The careful arrangement of bones along the south wall appears intentional.
