| remarks on archaeological context | The pottery coffin contained a disturbed body of an adult person in the contracted position facing north with the head to the east. South of the coffin another body was discovered, also in the contracted position, with the head to south and facing east. A copper fish-hook without a barb was placed between the legs of the body. Two rough pottery bowls were located at the west side of the burial pit. |
