marens middle without connection w. other skeletal remains and therefore also not in situ, is plastered in. Another skull lies on top of stratum 2 (see diary 26/10) together with remains of upper and lower extremities and find 32 & 33. The position suggests a crouched burial but since the body is not lying 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 preserved skull but without other skeletal remains (no. 3). Although only its upper half is preserved it is plastered.

diam 24.212/11The clearing proceeds slowly but surely. Three new skulls are found, all in the bottom stratum below the left side niche. They lie without connection to the other skeletal parts but are well preserved and are plastered in situ (nrs 4, 5 & 6). The following vessels were taken out.
