164 REPORT ON THE STAPENHILL EXPLORATIONS. 
Find No. 13 was the body of a young female lying on the 
left side, head pointing towards the west, the arms extended 
by the side, and the legs bent at the knee at an angle of 
120°. Near the left side of the head was a small iron knife, 
3} inches long (Plate VIII., Fig. 18), and by the waist was 
an oblong piece of bronze, which had been rivetted to an iron 
buckle of the same shape. _ 
Find No. 14 was the body of a man, lying full length on the 
back, head pointing north-west; the right arm lay extended by 
the right side, the left hand lay on the chest, and the legs 
were not crossed. No article of any kind accompanied this 
interment. 
Find No. 15, which was accidentally exposed by the brickfield 
mien in digging for clay, was the body of a female adult, lying on 
the left side, with the head pointing towards the west-north- 
west; the arms were extended towards the north-north-east, 
and the legs were in rather a contracted position. Under the 
head was an iron knife, 3} ins. long. Trenches were dug in the 
direction of this find later on. 
Find No. 16 consisted of portions of an urn and fragments of 
charcoal, carbonised cloth, etc. 
Hitherto only one body had been interred in each grave, 
accompanied in most cases with one or more articles of ornament 
or defence, and vessels of pottery. Up to the present, no flint 
flakes or pieces of broken pottery or charcoal were discovered in 
connection with any of the interments by inhumation ; it is just 
possible, however, that every grave did contain some of these, but 
that such were overlooked by the workmen employed in the 
excavations ; for, as will be noted, from this time forth, a much 
more diligent and careful search being instituted, some fragments 
of pottery and flints were found to accompany each interment by 
inhumation. 
Find No. 17.—This was the first grave in which more than one 
body was interred, no less than three bodies being discovered, 
each lying full length, with the arms extended by the side, and 
with the legs not crossed. One body, 174, was 2 ft. 6 in. below
