MISSING |
The soil around the burial jar i71 was cleaned using a brush and dental pick, which exposed the large vessel resting on its side with the top portion cracked and broken. To the west of the vessel were animal bones localized in one area and we assigned these bones a separate item number i79 due to their location as a whole group and not a mixed bone lot. Three small vessels i68, i69, i77 were found around the large jar, two carinated bowls and one small jar. These vessels along with the large jar were photographed in context. The large jar i71 rests on the red clay layer approximately 10 centimeters from the stone pavement. We continued to excavate the jar since it needed to be removed before the end of the day for reasons of security. Inside the jar i71 of a15 numerous items were found along with the body of a small child i78. The items includes two bronze bracelets i72 i73, 8 metal rings i74, 9 beads i75 (one lapis bead shaped like a duck, one circular lapis bead, one red bread carved like a pair of eyes with white paint, and the rest quartz crystal beads), a metal pin i76, and a metal head piece i70.
