Under the house-floors of all five phases a total number of 131 burials [12.4] have been found. Of these 126 are of children and five of adults. In child burials two or at times three urns of grey fabric were placed horizontally mouth to mouth in a n.-s. orientation. The funerary goods associated with these comprise small painted bowls, small globular vessels, high-necked pots, tiny beads of faïence [16.6], carnelian and copper and a copper anklet. Adults were buried in an extended position in a pit wih a n.-s. orientation. The lower extremities are generally found to be missing.
