This small accumulation of vessels is entirely isolated from the other finds and gives the impression of being the last of the many burials. One has placed the dead on the only remaining horizontal part of the floor. – Quite near the section line at 2 m there is a burial, evidently of a woman, with preserved remains of the thighbones and pelvis. The skeleton lies diagonally in the chamber, directly on the floor. In connection with this burial a number of objects are noted, whose position appears from the drawing:
