LIV. Skeleton well preserved, even to the smallest bones of the toes and fingers. Between the feet the bronze rim of a little vessel [KAS 466], and close to the toes a pair of shears, a Roman coin, and a bronze stud nail set with a garnet [KAS 411]. A knife and an umbo, both broken, lay across the lower part of the body; and there were also pieces of plated bronze, an iron buckle, and a sword [KAS 830], the point of which was broken off, but which still measured thirty-three inches, and was one of the longest swords found at Sarr.
