| Stratum: | R, Grave III (=R VIII) | |
| Notes: | R This morning we found another grave ca. 1.50 east of that ment. on page 82. This new one – Grave III – was indicated yesterday by very soft earth above it. A poorly built wall of 1 course prevented our getting at it but I authorized Anastasi to remove a section of this wall. We then dug down and found the grave. No clearly marked lining of grave. The body lies on right side in crouching attitude – legs doubled up. Head to S.E. Bones in poor condition. Face is turned N.E. The finger bones are near chin. Apparently it was a child for the bones are very small. From top of skull to bottom is 0.45 or 0.50. Ca. 0.35 wide. Thigh bone measures ca. 0.215 m long. Skull is ca. 0.15 m long (from front to back). (Cranial measurement is 0.15) (from top of forehead to base of skull in rear). We go on looking for more graves. Fearful wind in afternoon makes work almost impossible. | |
