Human bone and teeth were found to rest upon the limestone block and this was labelled Burial 3. Some iron fragments (cat. 47) and charcoal (cat. 46) were found when the limestone block was removed. Just 1 cm deeper than these objects were a cranial fragment and three more teeth. More iron (belonging to cat. 47) in the shape of a wide band or ring also associated with human remains. Burial 3 also rendered a very small and roughly made carnelian bead (cat. 50) and one small indo-pacific blue bead (cat. 51) both found in the screen. Teeth and bone fragments and a ceramic vessel fragment were found close to the surface of 2:3. The ceramic sherds (cat. 52) were located at 1063.65 asl.
