Tomb no. 4 , cont'd. from p. 13 15-3-39, con't'd. At the left (N.W) there is a Bl. on R. jug in the wall of the tomb, 0.60 m. above the floor. It is in an adjacent tomb, cut through when tomb 4 was cut. It must have collapsed already at that time. The pots removed by the plunderers (p. 12, # 1-6) were found in the S-W, and belonged with the S.E skeletons. Photo Bam. '39.12 of N.W skeleton " " '39.3.6 of tomb with objects in situ.

20.3.39Digging in the pit in the center of the tomb we find the missing bones of skeleton I. This S.E group is thus subsequent to the building of the pit. The pit is partly filled with chavara, going up onto the pots. The bones of skeleton I lay over this. There were a few fragments of bone under it. Since skeleton I lay over the chavara, itself subsequent to the pots in the pit, skeleton I is later than these.

Photo Bam. '39.7 of tomb completely cleared.
