separate interment episode but within same pit as Burial 1-25, with V. 013, earliest + motif

Comments

Extended adult males 1-25 (zones 99 and 115) and 1-29 (zone 115a) were placed in the same pit, though in different interment episodes. They are accompanied by vessels 013 and 014, which display the earliest recovered examples of the cross motif.
