Description: The articulated burial of a child was placed on its left side facing south. The arms were extended beside the body, the legs were flexed, and the lower parts of both legs were missing due to disturbance. Most likely the inhumation was contemporaneous with that of an infant (YO); the right hand of KA almost touched its back. The position of the severely disturbed infant burial was reconstructed as follows: The corpse was placed on its right side with the head directed to the east; the right arm extended beside the body. The child was decorated with small disc-beads found around the head, a short necklace of disc-beads, a long necklace of tubular beads, a pendant made of mother-of-pearl, and a black rhomboid bead, which was made of jet. The infant was also adorned with bracelets at both wrists, all made of disc beads. The skull and post-cranium are extremely fragmentary. The skeleton lacks the left shoulder, left pelvic bones, and the lower legs.
