1 large bead, red and white small beads alternating to a length of approx. 1,5 cm (see drawing), 1 large bead etc. Through careful clearing in situ this sequence is verified in 4 different places in the necklace. A good many of the millimetresized small beads have gone out into the fill an unavoidable situation due to the dust-like nature of the earth. It is probable, however, that 95% have been recovered in sieving and rechecking . Some are certainly destroyed.

The band is reconstructed according to the above reconstruction. It has no direct connection with any skull. The only thing I found during the clearing was a thumbnail-sized sherd of a skull.

At the beginning of the necklace (1–24) only the surface layer of the beads was removed, thereafter through- approx. 1 cm is dug. thick layer and the beads are drawn and reconstructed as they are found Before this are taken out
