29·4·38 Bam. Tomb 2, from p. 25 (27)

Skeletons IV - V are slightly older than III, as they are covered by a greyish earth which goes under III. IV is an adult, stretched out, but rather rolled up against the E. wall of the tomb. Lying on its right shoulder as is the skull of a child, two o skeleton V. Only the skull & two arm (?) bones are preserved. At the head is the "milk bottle", # 6.

Photos 244-5 of Skeletons IV - V.

Removing the finds discover that the leg bone at the head of III is part of a complete set of legs, running under III. Call it III a. Photo 246 of III a

2·5·38 Digging below skeletons III - V, find another skeleton, VI, in the east of the chamber. The skull associated with IV probably really belonged to VI, I belonging to IV. In this case there never was any skeleton V. VI lay on its side (?) with the legs crossed, 1.00 meter below the present surface of the land. There were no associated finds. (To p. 29)
