Description: Burial of 5 individuals, together with AL, FO, GG, GI. The multiple burial consisted of five articulated skeletons. The corpses were buried close together lying partly in each other’s arms. They were placed on their right sides with bent legs, their heads directed to the east, the face oriented to the NNW. The rightmost individual was a man (FO). Tightly in front of him lay a woman (GG) whose left arm was placed on the body of another female juvenile (AL) to her left. The next individual was a second man (AK), a third male skeleton (GI) was for the most part destroyed by later burials. AK was adorned with a complete shell (Veneridae cf. Marcia spec.) pierced at the vertex, found at the neck. A bracelet was discovered on his left wrist. The skeleton is almost complete, however, the bones sustained damaged due to weathering. Compared to the other skeletons from the multiple burial AK is best preserved. Cribra orbitalia and a periapical abscess of RI1 were observed.
