v2.c30.115

The dead were buried in an extended posture in a grave dug in the living floor with a n.-to-s. orientation with the head towards the n.; the feet below the ankle were chopped off. Children were buried in two vessels placed mouth to mouth in a burial pit with the same orientation but their feet were spared. The vessels were kept in the grave possibly with some food and drink. Sometimes the dead were buried with their ornaments on.
