They were found with deposits of limpet shells, ox, horse, pig and goat bones, speckled feldsite pebbles and quartz pebbles. Some saucer, bowls and vase supports in a red gritty ware were also found here. This reconstruction has been made with an adult female skeleton. The grave goods are limpet shells, quartz pebbles, animal bones, and jewellery and beads made from natural materials like shells and seeds. She has apples and barley for her journey into the next life. Source: Objaverse 1.0 / Sketchfab
