Another skull lies on top of stratum 2 (see diary 26/10) together with remains of upper and lower extremities as well as finds 32 & 33. The position suggests a hocker but as the body is not in situ no conclusion can be drawn (femurs parallel, knee bent, elbow bent). The skull is fairly well preserved and is plastered (no. 2) In the bottom stratum below the cut connection to chamber β-γ lies a further a preserved skull but without other skeletal remains (no. 3). Although only its upper half is preserved it is not plastered.
