Abstract
An photograph of excavation in progress. This is a skeleton. A jaw with teeth and an earring is visible near the top center of the image. A clavicle and humerus and other arm bone are visible to the right. A bead, likely from a necklace, lies on the clavicle. A gold clothing decoration of a thin layer of gold, either a pin or a dress decoration, consisting of two circles connected by a cylinder, is visible next to the humerus. There also appears to be another object on the left hand side of the image that might be the top of this skull or another skull resting on this skeleton.
