Description: The corpse of a child was laid on its left side with the head pointing to the east. The legs were flexed and the arms were folded over the chest. The skull was destroyed and only the left part of the mandible was preserved. The child was adorned with a necklace made of small snail shells, disc- and tubular beads. It wore bracelets of disc-beads on the right and left wrist; more beads were also found around the waist. From the skull only the left mandible and a small fragment from the frontal bone are preserved. The post-cranium is extremely fragile and lacks the pelvic girdle and the left tibia. The right femur shows lamellar bone formation at the distal end.
