Red ochre burial

One baby (Burial 464) was buried with anklets and bracelets.  Archaeologists decided to lift it as a block.  The skeleton is that of an approximately 8 month old baby, lying on a mat or remnants of a basket, with two bracelets and two anklets attached to the body. Red ochre was sprinkled over the body.  Click on thumbnails for larger image.
