The lower part of the cult vessel (find 37) was namely found in the bottom stratum c. 1 m. away from the first parts of the same. Likewise scattered beads of the same type as in the necklace. In the cult vessel's four bowls also lie glass paste beads, deposited. Next to the base of the cult vessel lies a part of a miniature idol. A third human skeleton is established next to and south of no. 2 by the wall (no. 3) It appears to have sat with its back to the wall and its face towards the door. The sketch is intended to clarify the femur-bones' position in relation to the chamber wall. The clearing is continued and the following are taken out (drawing)
