Description (summary) 1999-06-26 jo 1 large and 2 small jars and a human bones [Input: J718JO.j]
1999-06-30 ab 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. [Input: J803AB.j]
