remarks on archaeological context | Circular pit, 50 cm. in diameter and 60 deep. Body of a child, contracted, on right side, head north-east. At neck a pierced shell, a blue glaze monkey 23 mm. high, and three blue glaze beads, almost certainly degraded forms of the monkey figure (PI. VIII., fig. l). Over the body were signs of a round basket of reeds |
