Grave pit 96 at Ripley contained the skeleton of an aged female, the lower 

 right arm of which was almost entirely preserved by the copper salts formed 

 from the heavy copper arm bands and finger rings. Two infants' skeletons 

 were found at her side and the skeleton of a headless male, near which Avas 

 found one of the rarest of implements, a bar celt. Ten pottery vessels were 

 buried in this family grave.
