mate measurements : maximum diameter, which was at the mouth, 8.5 inches ; 

 height, 5 inches. Within Mb, was a third vase (Mc) of black ware, having a 

 globular body and flaring rim with decoration around the margin consisting of 

 raised circles enclosing projections. Diameter at mouth, 5 inches; of body, 5.1 

 inches ; height, 6 inches. Within Mc were a few calcined fragments of the bones 

 of an infant. Both Mb and Mc, though badly broken, have been pieced together 

 with practically no missing parts. Above and around Ma were pieces of earthen- 

 ware belonging to at least two vessels, which may have served as a covering before 

 the advent of the plow.

 which had its base on the undisturbed sand 4 feet 6 inches down, was a seated 

 skeleton, facing N., with head crushed down on the pelvis. Both arms were parallel 

 with the body, the forearms crossing on the pelvis. The thighs, with legs flexed 

 back on them, projected up on either side. Sex uncertain. 



Burial No. 64, immediately beneath No. 63, flexed skeleton of female, trunk to 

 the left, head N. and facing in that direction.

 a skeleton of a young person, head S., upper trunk on back, head over on chest, 

 legs flexed and turned to the right. Right arm along body with forearm beneath

 skeleton of a child about 5 years of age, flexed on the left side, head N. With

 urn-shaped vessel with a faint diamond-stamped decoration, of poor material and

 before removal and was thus recovered in fairly good condition. Approximate
