Complete inhumations consist of single or double animals at different levels in the same pit. The animals so buried are mostly dogs and in two instances wolves. The orientation of the body is usually n.-s. in a crouching position. Only one animal is seen buried in a supine position on its back with its legs upwards. It is interesting to note the body of a wolf has been found in a completely charred condition. The animal burials are devoid of any furnishings.
