ds skeleton deposition on the ground without any specific construction. The animal skeleton and several metal objects (i20, i21, i22, i23, i24, q73.1) are laid together. Associated with these bronze offerings there is also a small, cylindrical, carneol bead, but there is no pottery. All bones (A12q73 b) are in one bag; we found some large fragments, but are mostly broken into small pieces.

nt Prof. Castelletti J731 did a general analysis about the bones and observed that the bones belong to an old cow, whose teeth were almost completely used. Not all the cow's bones are present. Apparently only some parts of the body's bones were selected (head, lower part of two legs). He couldn't say if this should be associated with some sort of ritual.

G99 A12q69.1-ja and A12q69.2-ja were at the same elevation but ca. 80 cm East of a10. They aren't directly associated with the burial, but they are the only vessels in the vicinity.

nr we took no pictures and did no drawings of the burial because the bones and artifacts come out step by step. The metal artifacts, which are particularly rich and well preserved, laid mostly under the bones. The burial wasn't clearly defined and was very small (different than the animal deposition in A7 MZ10, where the complete skeleton was "carefully" laid down on the ground).

ds deposition in the ground. Almost triangular shaped grave. A large jar with rope decoration (i23),laid on the ground, is broken in many pieces but seems to be complete. Inside it there was only dirt, no bones as usually one would expect. Near its rim there were a small, double rim necked jar (q148.3) and a bit higher a broken, incised jar (q148.1). South of the rim of the big jar there was an other broken jar (q143.2), the sherds of which were large and piled in four layers. On top of them laid the skull and many small bones all grouped together. Very unusual deposition. No other offerings seem to be associated with it.

nt maybe a fallen brick broke the Southern most jar and the skull.
