  packed 
  clay 
  floor 
  of 
  one 
  house 
  were 
  13 
  graves, 
  some 
  in 
  stone-lined 
  

   and 
  covered 
  boxes. 
  These 
  contained 
  flexed 
  burials, 
  some 
  thin 
  strips 
  

   of 
  gold, 
  a 
  few 
  shell 
  beads, 
  and 
  remnants 
  of 
  plain 
  cloth, 
  but 
  no 
  pottery. 
  

   Everything 
  indicates 
  that 
  the 
  house 
  was 
  not 
  abandoned 
  after 
  the 
  

   burials 
  had 
  been 
  put 
  beneath 
  the 
  floor.
