Further clearing is begun. Under the sherd layer in the northern part of the chamber, the remains of a skeleton (no. 1) were found. Roughly a handful of bone splinters. Around it lay three miniature vessels. This is evidently, together with the sherd layer, the remains of the first burial. In the niches lie one each skeleton, from north to south, no. 2, no. 3 and no. 4. No. 2 is badly destroyed, likewise no. 3, while no. 4 is excellently preserved. Only the skull destroyed The body has lain on its back; the niche has been completely filled by the trunk, and the knees have therefore had to be drawn together upwards, so that the feet have remained in immediate proximity to the pelvis. A pair of clothes pins in situ on the right shoulder. The skeleton is photographed and drawn. Vessels and bronzes are taken out:
