REPORT ON THE STAPENHILL EXPLORATIONS. 167 
find No. 26, a photograph of which is shown in Plate I., was 
the body of a male adult, lying full length on the right side, with 
the head pointing towards the west ; the right arm lay stretched 
by the side ; the left was bent at the elbow, the left hand resting 
on the right arm; the legs were slightly contracted. Near the 
left side of the head was an urn of coarse earthenware, with four 
projecting knobs or ears, about 3 ins. below the rim. (Plate V., 
Fig. 4.) Near the feet was another similar urn, but without ears; 
an iron knife, 4 ins. long, was found lying on the left chest. Near 
to this body were several bones of animals, of the same class as 
those of Find No. 17, with the addition of some bones of the 
goat and dog. 
Find No. 27 was a male adult, lying full length on the back, with 
the head pointing towards the south-southeast ; the arms lay 
straight by the sides; the legs were not crossed. Near the 
right humerus was a small vessel of coarse earthenware, but 
harder in texture than any that had been found previously, as if it 
had been more highly baked or burned. Four flint flakes also 
accompanied this body. 
Find No. 28 was the body of an adult, lying full length on back, 
but not a trace of the head was to be found, though searched for 
most carefully. 
Find No. 29 was the radial bone of a horse. 
Find No. 30 was one of the most interesting, perhaps, of all 
the finds—a cinerary urn containing burnt human bones, evidently 
those of an adult. Along with these bones in the urn were a lot 
of beads, 36 in number, 21 of which were of dark blue glass, of 
Roman origin, 14 of terra cotta, or coloured pastes, and one of 
amber; also a bronze fibula, of circular concave-convex form 
(Plate VII., Fig. 16), the only one of this kind discovered. Some 
animals’ bones were also found near to the above. 
Find No. 31 consisted of animals’ remains ; the horn core of 
the ox ( Bos Jongifrons), and two incisors of the horse. 
Find No. 32 was the lower half of a skeleton, lying on left side 
with legs crossed; the skull, arm-bones, and other parts of the 
_ upper half could not be discovered. Near to these bones were a
