Grave as the last, and about two feet deep. Remains of a short, but very thick, burnt coffin: seven small beads, as in the last; and three amber ones: an iron ringle, as at No. 51, about two inches diameter, and about the thickness of a goose quill: the blade of a small knife, which seemed to have had an ivory or bone handle; a substance resembling them adhering to the strig of it. At the feet, but beyond the coffin, was a shallow plate, or patera, of blackish earth, too soft and rotten to be removed without falling to pieces. The grave of another child.
